Abstract

A new approach to high resolution digital movie making through an optical microscope and to sharing live microscopic images with a remote audience is presented. For these applications, a high resolution digital movie camera, the RED One, has been interfaced to a number of different types of optical microscopes, allowing moving image capture at ‘4k’ resolution onto digital storage, with simultaneous HD (high definition) video capture for live streaming to distant locations. The system has been used to create a movie, “MicrOrganisms”, and to stream live moving images of marine microorganisms from Los Angeles to San Diego, California and to Yokohama, Japan.

Research highlights► Microbe activities captured for HD video streaming, digital cinema simultaneously. ► “MicrOrganisms” movie presented on multi-flat panel OptiPortal and 4k projection. ► Entertainment industry movie tools plus optical microscopy on CineGrid networks.
