Weblab — Microscope: A remote laboratory for experimenting with digital microscope

Abstract

The use of high accuracy positioning systems provides endless possibilities for the development of remote laboratories. The remote laboratory presented in this paper allows full control of a microscope over a surface by the use of a Cartesian positioning system. The arrangement of multiple samples over the accessible surface by the lens so far as the provision of a rich graphical user interface will allow secondary school students to carry multiple experiments in biology, physics and chemistry through internet.
