Have you ever seen a microscope designed for multiple users at once? Probably not. Such microscopes are rare.
Yet, in some universities, entire groups of students are now able to collectively use a single microscope.
This is made possible through television.
The process is quite standard, except the transmission isn’t coming from a studio but directly from the microscope’s stage. The image is amplified and projected onto a screen. This new setup allows many researchers to observe even those organisms whose life spans last only a few minutes.
