Abstract
In this study, we propose a useful system for remote sharing of transmission electron microscope (TEM) images by connecting three computers: a computer connected to a TEM, a computer distributing images, and a computer receiving images. Then, we confirmed the performance of three web conferencing systems, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, to evaluate the usefulness of their remote use based on the clarity of images, smoothness of movement, and time lag in images on each computer in the system. A screen image can be captured using the following two methods: a virtual camera of a video distribution software that provided a good reaction speed to transfer images and the screen sharing by conference system software that could share high-quality images.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
