Abstract
This disclosure teaches a system and method for controlling a specimen scanner remotely. In one embodiment, a method for controlling a specimen scanner remotely can comprise the step of communicating with a specimen scanner to a network. The specimen scanner can comprise a camera, a stage, one or more lenses, and one or more light sources. The method can comprise the additional step of providing a graphical user interface to a remote computer connected to the network. The graphical user interface can be operable to control the camera, choose one of the one or more lenses, and adjust the one or more light sources. The method can further comprise the step of receiving instructions from the remote computer, and controlling the specimen scanner based on those instructions.
