The Highly Optimized Microscope Environment (HOME) is a computerized microscope design for assisting pathologists and cytotechnologists in routine clinical tasks. The prototype system consists of an IBM PC-compatible computer and a light microscope in which a built-in high-resolution computer display image is super-imposed on the optical image of the specimen. Also, an encoding stage and objective turret encoder are used to provide continuous monitoring of the stage coordinates and microscope magnification to the computer. This allows any position on the stage to be uniquely defined. Software, written in C language and running under the MS-DOS/MS-Windows environment, is controlled by means of a mouse-driven cursor. A specific application has been developed for cervical cancer screening, taking into account the needs and constraints of microscopists performing this task. Informatics tools offered by the HOME system provide them with precise flagging and relocation of objects on the slide, control of the scanning pathway, and ability to write and print the report directly through the microscope. The computer files generated by microscopic examination are stored and contain information available for quality control assessment and laboratory management.
高度优化显微镜环境（HOME）是一种计算机化显微镜设计，用于协助病理学家和细胞技术人员完成常规临床任务。该原型系统由一台IBM PC兼容计算机和一台光学显微镜组成，内置的高分辨率计算机显示图像叠加在标本的光学图像上。此外，一个编码载物台和物镜转塔编码器用于向计算机提供载物台坐标和显微镜放大倍数的连续监测。这使得载物台上的任何位置都能被唯一确定。用C语言编写并在MS-DOS/MS-Windows环境下运行的软件，通过鼠标驱动的光标进行控制。考虑到从事这项任务的显微镜工作者的需求和限制，已经开发了一个用于宫颈癌筛查的特定应用程序。HOME系统提供的信息学工具为他们提供了对载玻片上物体的精确标记和重新定位、扫描路径控制以及直接通过显微镜撰写和打印报告的能力。显微镜检查生成的计算机文件被存储起来，包含可用于质量控制评估和实验室管理的信息。
