  • Microscopy
    Patent number: 6847729
    Abstract: A method of telemicroscopy comprises the step of preparing a specimen on a microscopy slide. The slide is placed upon the stage of a microscope equipped with digital imaging apparatus and motorised stage and the specimen imaged to obtain a composite high resolution image of the whole specimen. A relatively low resolution copy of that image is obtained and stored in a datastore. The method further comprises the steps of allowing access to the datastore from a terminal transferring the low resolution image to the terminal and displaying the image upon a monitor selecting by means of the remote terminal, as desired, an area of the low resolution image and transferring corresponding high resolution image data for that area from the datastore to the terminal.
    Type: Grant

  • Video display systems
    Patent number: 6208374
    Abstract: A method for transmission of a sequence of high quality images for display on a visual display unit is described. It has particular application in the field of telepathology, where magnified images obtained by scanning a medical specimen on the stage of an optical microscope are transmitted from a local pathologist to a remote consultant for diagnosis.
