To develop a telemicroscopy system that is independent of specialized hardware and software for microscope remote control.
An automatic microscope mounted on a CCD camera was connected to a computer that fulfills the function of an internet server. Any internet user can access this server and can control the microscope by use of an internet browser with Java support. The system can be tested at http:@amba.rz.charite.hu-berlin.de/telemic. FUNCTION AND APPLICATIONS: The user can move the microscope stage, change the magnification or execute any other microscope operations by pressing buttons of the downloaded telemicroscopy client program. The new microscope images are transferred automatically. Structures of interest within the images can be highlighted and discussed online with other telemicroscopy clients. Any internet browser with Java support, like Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer, makes an internet user a telemicroscopy client and thus a possible consultant for telepathology.
The internet telemicroscope offers new possibilities for telepathology. This development should promote communication between pathologists and may thus increase the quality of diagnosis.
开发一种独立于用于显微镜远程控制的专用硬件和软件的远程显微镜系统。
一台安装有电荷耦合器件（CCD）相机的自动显微镜与一台具备互联网服务器功能的计算机相连。任何互联网用户都可以访问该服务器，并能通过支持Java的互联网浏览器来控制显微镜。该系统可在http:@amba.rz.charite.hu-berlin.de/telemic进行测试。
用户通过按下下载的远程显微镜客户端程序的按钮，能够移动显微镜载物台、改变放大倍数或执行任何其他显微镜操作。新的显微镜图像会自动传输。图像中感兴趣的结构能够被突出显示，并可与其他远程显微镜客户端在线讨论。任何支持Java的互联网浏览器，如网景浏览器或微软的Internet Explorer，都能使互联网用户成为远程显微镜客户端，进而成为远程病理学的潜在顾问。
互联网远程显微镜为远程病理学提供了新的可能性。这一发展应能促进病理学家之间的交流，从而可能提高诊断质量。
