Abstract

A new remote access system for a 1.3 MV high voltage electron microscope has been developed. Almost all essential functions for HVEM operation, huck as stage control, specimen tilting, TV camera selection and image recording, are successfully embedded into this prototype of the remote system. Particularly, this system permits perfect and precise operation of the goniometer and also controls the high resolution digital camera via simple Web browsers. Transmission of control signals and communication with the microscope is accomplished via the global ring network for advanced applications development (GLORIAD). This fact makes it possible to realize virtual laboratory to carry out practical national and international HVEM collaboration by using the present system

가속전압 1.3MV의 초고전압투과전자현미경의 원격제어 시스템을 개발하였다. 초고전압투과전자현미경의 운영을 위한 필수적인 기능, 즉 stage조정, 시편의 tilting, TV카메라 선택과 영상 저장 등을 원격 운영시스템에 그대로 적용하였다. 특히 이 시스템은 간단한 웹 접속만으로 goniometer를 완벽하고 정밀하게 제어할 수 있으며 고해상도 디지털카메라를 제어할 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다. 일체의 현미경 제어 신호 및 교신은 글로리아드 망을 통하여 이루어지도록 하였다. 이는 HVEM원격 운영시스템을 이용하여 국내는 물론 국제적인 공동 연구를 수행할 수 있는 가상 실험실 구축을 실현할 수 있음을 시사한다.
