Summary
| Description | For the first time, researchers can use NASA's 'super magnifying glass' to study laboratory specimens thousands of miles away. Remote Scanning Electron Microscopy technology allows researchers at different locations across the country to remotely control a scanning electron microscope. Scientists connect to the instrument through an Internet web browser to create three dimensional, high resolution images that are magnified ten to one-hundred-thousand times their original size. A remote control system on the microscope enables real-time interface with the tissue researchers are studying. The technology, developed at NASA Ames Research Center, provides medical researchers the opportunity to work with a wide variety of specimens located in different parts of the country. |
