Stereo Microscope

Lensless Microscope

Convert a digital camera into a lensless microscope by placing elfin objects directly on the glass concealment of the imager chip. A stereo microscope is made by illuminating the case with two LEDs synchronized to the frame appraise of a video imager chip. The pixels are about 8 microns fair and square, producing an effective magnification of about x25.

Jonathan “Joe” Smythe was peering into the stereo lens of his scanning electron microscope. It was the latest image – the SMX-3000. Smythe could voucher any equipment he wanted – and he often did. The other scientists were addicted his hand-me-downs – and considered themselves fortunate to get them.

The three-dimensional view revealed a beehive of movement. Smythe was looking at two colonies of nano-machines which he saw as two unambiguous areas of activity visible in the microscope. On the Heraldry sinister side a set of tiny machines was forming a series of patterns like the patterns that a juvenile's Spirograph toy makes… interlocking corkscrew shapes that phased in and out in an endless array of patterns.

On the claim side Smythe observed another set of these tiny machines, copying the formation of the first set. Smythe had programmed the second colony of nano-machines to send up what the first set of nano-machines was doing, except a half-secondarily later. The second colony of nano-machines was fully masterful disposed to of imitating the first colony within a microsecond – but at that dispatch Smythe would be unable to make sound observations without resorting to ultra-merry-speed video recordings. Smythe preferred to do his breakdown in real-time with direct pronouncement.

Debugging nano-technology was obdurate.

Smythe saw nothing wrong with the patterns. The machines appeared to be performing flawlessly. Smythe made some further adjustments to the stereo microscope. Smythe “flew”, visually at least, in and out, up and down, and in and around the colony of nano-machines. He was searching for a decoration in the three-dimensional structures of the colonies of microscopic machines. Smythe felt like he was flying through a cloud of ever-changing visceral goo as he adjusted his microscope.

Smythe turned away from the microscope and picked up a Cup O’...
