The system includes at least one local device and a remote host for sending a control command thereto. A microslide is placed on a microscopic camera device in the local device, and the microscopic camera device captures an image of the microslide according to a capture command in the control command.

Abstract: A touch display device includes a display, a touch panel, a storage, a touch driver, and a processor. The display displays a graphical user interface (GUI). The touch panel senses a touch operation. The touch driver defines a valid operation area of the touch panel according to the GUI and obtains information of touch operations applied to the touch panel.
