Abstract
The Virtual Microscope is being designed as an integrated computer
hardware and software system that generates a highly realistic digital
simulation of analog, mechanical light microscopy. We present our work
over the past year in meeting the challenges in building such a
system. The enhancements we made are discussed, as well as the planned
future improvements. Performance results are provided that show that
the system scales well, so that many clients can be adequately
serviced by an appropriately configured data server.
