Fast internet connections that are available today worldwide are opening new possibilities in the research and education using accelerator based analytical techniques. Our newly developed accelerator computer control and recent improvements in sample positioning and data acquisition systems enabled a long distance access to experiments performed at accelerator including different aspects of the application of PIXE technique. At the Laboratory for ion beam interactions of the Ruđer Bošković Institute, PIXE is applied at three different beamlines. These are a) the broad beam PIXE vacuum chamber with automatic sample changer, b) the external beam PIXE system with computer controlled sample stage for large objects and c) the proton microprobe facility. As each of these systems is equipped with a dedicated software and hardware for remote operation, PIXE measurements can be entirely or partially performed from distant locations.
