Hello Zhong

Hitachi High Technologies markets a system called WAM – Wide Area Microscopy from Quartz/PCI.  When we set up the Imaging Module here we ‘auditioned’ many systems which made claims of remote instrument operation capabilities but in demonstrations WAM was the only system that actually worked out of the box.  We have installed WAM on several instrument including our Zeiss Duo confocal, Zeiss Z1 Imager and our Hitachi S-3400N SEM and have had great success with remote operations.

Well, it isn't pretty, but around here we use windows remote desktop sometimes to run our equipment externally.  I'm guessing you are looking for something more flexible and robust however.

My name is Zhong Wang working for the Bio-Imaging Facility at the Hunter
College, CUNY. At present we are working on a remote instrumentation project
for microscopic imaging. This project aims at manipulating microscopic systems
from remote sites via the fast internet connection and supporting web
conferencing software. By using proper remote connection protocols,
microscopic imaging system can be shared remotely for research purposes.
Now we are looking for partners to set up networks for tests and demos. The
description of our facility can be found from the following link:
