Iranian Inventor Builds Dual-Purpose Microscope with Online Imaging Capability
“This invention, dual-purpose microscope with the capability of taking images online, enjoys the capability of simultaneous micro and stereo imaging on the holographic pyramid,” Matin Farahani, a graduate of Computer Engineering at Islamic Azad University’s Semnan branch, told ANA.
“The invention decreases the high cost of microscopes and facilitates the hard adjustment of microscope slide and lamellae, and has the ability to record content in optical microscopes, and paves the way for the collective use of microscopes,” he added.
Farahani said that the dual-purpose microscopes with defined capabilities are a combination of three microscopes, stereoscopes and hologram pyramids that are capable of micro and stereo imaging.
He further said that the new invention shows the image of the specimen on the slide on a phone or tablet through a software, and turns the obtained film and images from the stereo mode into the three dimensions mode on a holographic pyramid so that users can receive a single image from four sides in three dimensions.
“Dual-purpose microscopes with online imaging capabilities are used in research institutes, colleges, and scientific and research centers,” he concluded.
In a relevant development last year, Iran’s Sharif Solar (IRASOL) Co., a spin-off from the Sharif University of Technology, succeeded in producing a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with the resolution of 20 nanometers. Such microscopes are employed for studying the morphology and chemical composition of materials surface and determining the thickness of thin-films.
Electron microscopes are of the most common instruments used for analyzing materials in the nanoscale, by which morphology, dimension, and the chemical composition of materials surface can be studied.
