DigiLab II second-generation teaching solution for classrooms. DigiLab II offers the teacher a live-stream overview of students images with up to 9 live streams on any one page. The maximum number of students, which can be connected to one teacher is 48.

For many years, using microscopes in classrooms has been associated with a great deal of time being spent on walking around the room making sure each student has set the microscope up properly and is looking at the right image through the eyepiece. This resulted in the teacher not being able to focus on teaching the material and has made using microscopes in a classroom a chore rather than a joy. Students become easily frustrated and disillusioned if they cannot follow the class properly.

As a leading manufacturer of digital microscopy, hardware as well as software, Motic were asked to find a way to allow each student to operate his or her own microscope while allowing the teacher to follow the students progress and see exactly what the student is seeing through the eyepiece.

Image there are 40 students in this class, each with their own microscope, each looking at a specimen at their own time. Now imagine being able to see each students microscope image in real-time streaming video without having to leave your desk.

Motics DigiLab II makes it all possible. This solution can link Motic digital microscopes or Moticam units to one central overview station through existing Intranet network lines. Any classroom or teaching lab can be retrofitted to include DigiLab 11 teaching tool.

DigiLab II is a software only solution. This means that all aspects of screen and image control can be operated through the simple click of a mouse. This includes full broadcasting control. Use DigiLab II to lecture students with a demonstration microscope and slide. Every student can follow the class on their own computer screen. If one student has found something interesting simply enable that students image to be broadcast to every other computer on the DigiLab network. Teachers need leave no student behind, make sure that they all comprehend.

DigiLab II includes an integrated digital audio communication system. Each student can follow the class using a simple headset plugged into the students computer. This multi-media tool includes three audio switching choices. The software also includes a short-messaging service so that pointers, comments or interesting findings can be easily communicated to the entire class. Students as well as teachers are able to capture still, time-lapse or moving images to their computer for further quantification using Motics advanced image application software Motic Images Plus 2.0ML.

With a Moticam (sold separately) virtually any microscope can be added to the DigiLab 11 software system. Simple plug and play digital microscopes by Motic make it easy to setup a digital microscopy classroom.
