Today,
we can integrate microscope with a digital camera which can capture images of
1.4MP to 32MP. Therefore, images captured by digital microscope cameras can
have size varying from 4.3MB to 90MB. Normally available database software can
easily manage image files. However, for images of these sizes, you require
special purpose DBMS software as general purpose DBMS software cannot offer
performance when you have to store or retrieve these images.
