Abstract

This paper outlines the requirements, architecture, and design of a "Microscopy Channel" over the wide area network. A microscopy channel advertises a listing of available online microscopes, where users can seamlessly participate in an experiment, acquire expert opinions, collect and process data, and store this information in their electronic notebook. The proposed channel is a collaborative problem solving environment (CPSE) that allows for both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration. Our testbed includes several unique electron and optical microscopes with applications ranging from material science to cell biology. We have studied current commercial CORBA services and concluded that three basic services are needed to meet the extensibility and functionality constraints. These include: Instrument Services (IS), Exchange Services (ES), and Computational Services (CS). These services sit on top of CORBA and its enabling services (naming, trading, security, and notification). IS provide a layer of abstraction for controlling any type of microscope. ES provide a common set of utilities for information management and transaction. CS provide the analytical capabilities needed for online microscopy and PSE.

深度视图:分布式显微镜和信息学的通道

本文概述了广域网上“显微通道”的要求、结构和设计。一个显微镜频道宣传了一系列可用的在线显微镜，用户可以无缝地参与实验，获取专家意见，收集和处理数据，并将这些信息存储在他们的电子笔记本中。所建议的通道是一个协作问题解决环境(CPSE)，它允许同步和异步协作。我们的测试平台包括几个独特的电子和光学显微镜，应用范围从材料科学到细胞生物学。我们研究了当前的商业CORBA服务，得出的结论是需要三个基本服务来满足可扩展性和功能约束。这些服务包括:仪器服务(IS)、交换服务(ES)和计算服务(CS)。这些服务位于CORBA及其支持服务(命名、交易、安全性和通知)之上。IS为控制任何类型的显微镜提供了一个抽象层。ES为信息管理和事务提供了一组通用的实用程序。CS提供在线显微镜和PSE所需的分析能力。
