The electron microscope was developed during the 1930s by Ernst Ruska and was first applied to biological specimens by Albert Claude, Keith Porter, and George Palade. The use of electron beams to deflect and focus that beam using electrostatic and magnetic coils or lenses is the basic principle of an electron microscope.
Google is on their way to developing an ARM-Augmented Reality Microscope in a joint venture with the U.S. Department of Defense. Currently, Google has developed a prototype. They incorporate AI with the microscope system to classify cancer cells using visual indicators.
Amplified fragment length polymorphism PCR is a PCR-based tool used in genetics research, DNA fingerprinting and in the practice of genetic engineering. In short, AFLP is an intermediate stage between RFLP and PCR.
