Abstract

Abstract As the dawn of the next millennium approaches, the light microscope enters its fifth century of use, while the personal computer barely enters its third decade. When Antony van Leeuwenhoek peered through his self made hand crafted microscope and documented the first observations of bacteria and cells, much of microbiology and cell biology was born. When the personal computer became a tool in modern science, molecular cell biologists were well into the age of human genetic engineering. While the rise and acceptance into scientific importance of the microscope and the personal computer represent vastly different periods of sophistication in modem science, the combination of these two important scientific tools for computer aided microscopy (CAM) clearly provides bold uncharted potentials and opportunities for medicine, biomedical research, and industry in the future century to come.
