UCSD Team to Demonstrate Trans-Pacific Telemicroscopy at INET 2000 July 18, 2000 NCSA - Representatives of UCSD’s National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) will highlight how telescience technologies can provide worldwide access to unique scientific instruments and enable researchers to collaborate more easily. In particular, the researchers will demonstrate telemicroscopy by controlling NCMIR’s 400,000-volt electron microscope in San Diego from the INET 2000 exhibition. The group’s telescience activities are supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI) and the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Research Resources, which supports the NCMIR. For additional information on the iGrid telemicroscopy demo, see the INET 2000 conference paper “Advanced Networking for Telemicroscopy” at www.sdsc.edu/~marty/inet2000.
