The system combined traditional microscopy education with modern network technology and multi-media technique. With high-quality “SUNNY” microscopes, server and computers, an interactive multi-media audio bilateral network system was founded. It shows several clear pictures at the same time and has a lot of methods to realize interaction, which actually make the communication of teaching and learning more effective.
There is a computer on the terminal of the teacher and each student. Thus, each terminal becomes an independent workstation of digital microscope images. And every unit was connected via LAN. With a master computer and original designed software, the teacher can view, capture and enlarge several images from the students’ at the same time. In this way, the images and data are shared. The system provides various modes of voice communication, the function of image bilateral addition and other functions, which makes the communication more convenient and the details more clear.
The teacher can send his/her own image to students as a demonstration, and also can transmit any student’s picture to another’s computer or all computers. Networked teaching of microscope images, improved the visual efficiency of experimental teaching and students’ interest. The teacher’s and students’ interface style of the software are the same. So learning the operation is easy.
