  • Abstract
    The optical microscope is extensively used in a variety of biotechnological studies. However, most of the biologists and allied-medical technologists face utter inconvenience with their medical testing tasks and researches as they have to keep their eye on a microscope half of the day. Likewise, they have to focus the microscope using two mechanical adjusters with a great effort to investigate the tiny substances accurately. In this paper, we present developing a novel semi-automatic digital microscope system. It has the capability of enhancing the photomicrograph using image processing techniques in order to intelligently elucidate the image, as well as controlling the motion and light illumination of the microscope. It can be operated either using the controller software or even remotely via internet.
