Lab on a chip: Developing a tiny, super-resolution optical microscope
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

Imagine shrinking a microscope, integrating it with a chip and using it to observe inside living cells in real time. Wouldn`t it be great if this tiny microscope could also be incorporated into electronic gadgets, in the same way that smartphone cameras are today? What if doctors manage to use such a tool for diagnosis in remote areas without the need for large, heavy and sensitive analysis devices? The EU-funded ChipScope project has made significant progress towards achieving these objectives.
