Some scientists from the University of Bristol have conceive a very ingenious system that allows them to control microscopic particles using an iPad tablet. The iPad tablet is connected to an electronic microscope through an external display and with the help of special software and some lasers implemented in the microscope, the researchers can manipulate the particles on the tablet screen. All the movements that that student makes there, the microscope makes on the particles. Practically using an iPad tablet, researchers will have the opportunity to control the samples they study much more easily.
