The Virtual Microscope
is a development project at The Open University
between the Multimedia Enabling Technologies
Group and the Department of Earth Sciences.
It is used for making scientific
procedures simple and it also results in significant
cost savings and real educational in multimedia.
The Virtual Microscope, for example, can be
used to allow students to rotate a rock sample
whilst viewing it in plane polarized and cross
polarized light simultaneously - something which
is not possible with a conventional microscope.
The Virtual Microscope is presented
on CD-ROM.
