remote video

[Kirkendall Lawrence]

Arthur Chapman describes using INternet to view specimens remotely via a
video camera.
I have seen several systems for "capturing" images electronically, via
video cameras.  The resolution is nowhere good enough to be able to
regularly identify insects to species.  Is it in fact possible to both
capture and receive/view with a "normal" monitor, images of high enough
quality to be able to identify insects?  If not, I expect that remote
video will be of no help to entomologists...
