Abstract :
Microscopy is a labor-intensive, manual process in many clinical applications. An integrated optical-electric system has been developed as a cost-effective tool for microscopy to assist the microscopic manipulation of cells and tissues. The micromanipulation system is a labor-saving tool for microscopic imaging, which maintains the quality control required in this clinical discipline
