Background:Microscopic images of peripheral blood smear or bone marrow slides are widely used in lectures, presentations, journal articles, and medical textbooks. Real-time microscopic images can be useful for education and conferences. For purposes, we set up a microscopic imaging system using a digital camera.
Methods: Microscopic images were obtained from peripheral blood smear or bone marrow slides at the Department of Clinical Pathology, Seoul National University Hospital. The microscopic imaging system was constructed using C-3030 zoom (Olympus, Japan) as a digital camera and Sigma TV Ⅱ (Sigmacom, Korea) as a video overlay card.
Results: Real-time microscopic images were made by the microscopic imaging system using a digital camera and displayed on PC monitor by the overlay card. The maximum resolution of the microscopic images was 3,340,000 pixels and the images were stored in an accessory storage device.
Conclusions: We could successfully construct microscopic imaging system using a digital camera. This system could produce images with higher resolutions that the CCD camera system and could yield images more rapidly than the optical camera system. We believe that microscopic images obtained with this cost-effective imaging system can be used for education, publication, research, conference, and picture archieving comunication system (PACS).
