Microscopists in today's laboratories face multiple challenges. Many must examine specimens according to legal, governmental or grant-specific requirements. Protocol requires that the specimens be documented by conventional photography, electronic imaging techniques, or both. Because of the thousands of specimens examined, operators work under conditions of potential physical strain for hours at a time. And the material they examine requires that they have expertise with large and complex imaging instruments.
