Dynamic Microscopy System Testing

The key objectives of this project are to provide a microscope and a microscope stage that functions as an automated miniature laboratory and to meet experimenters’ requirements on the forthcoming generation of suborbital spacecraft being developed by the private sector. Techshot, Inc. will use its corporate history of development of similar hardware for the International Space Station and will incorporate a robust digital microscope to produce a versatile mini-microscopy laboratory for the study of fluid phenomena, colloid science, motile cells such as algae and protozoa, model organisms such as nematodes, and plant science.
