NanoRacks optical microscope allows on-the-ground researchers to undertake in-situ microgravity analysis.
As part of our business model to provide low-cost, easy to use on-orbit facilities, our third on-station product is the NanoRacks Microscope-1.
The USB Microscope plugs into any ISS laptop allowing crewmembers to adjust the position of the samples on the slide and focus the microscope as well as choose the magnification from the 5X, 10X or 20X objectives.
When the desired images are captured, the crewmember will copy them from the USB Video Device to the destination file for later downlink to your team on the ground.
