World's smallest hand-held microscope!

From the creator

Australian scientists have developed what they claim is the world's smallest hand-held microscope. It fits inside a needle and gives surgeons a better view of what is happening inside a patient's body. The aim is to detect cancer cells often missed during operations to remove breast cancer tumours. Researchers at the University of Western Australia are using the microscope to capture 3D images with a tiny lens, less than a third of a millimetre wide. The device is now being tested on human tissue samples. euronews knowledge brings you a fresh mix of the world's most interesting know-hows, directly from space and sci-tech experts.
