Trans-Pacific Telemicroscopy
Telemicroscopy software allows researchers to interactively operate a
microscope located at a remote site for the purposes of investigation a
specimen, capturing digital images to disk and deriving accurate 3D
computer models of the specimen for analysis. Our Telemicroscopy
applications provide remote access to a specialized electron microscope at
UCSD, and the world's most powerful electron microscope at Osaka University.
Using international research networks and advanced video streaming
software, researchers in San Diego can readily investigate their specimens
using the Osaka microscope, and vice-versa. These Telemicroscopy
applications increase the utilization of unique resources and allow more
research projects to be conducted faster and cheaper than ever before.
Trans-Pacific Telemicroscopy experiments have played a considerable role in
analyzing and tuning network performance on an international scale. Project
members are working closely with network engineers to develop and test next
generation Internet technologies such as multicast, QoS and IPv6.
