    Speaking of edumacation, it would have been lovely to have heard the good professor say, "My students and I..." rather than, "Me and my students..."

    Still, the idea that Big Microscopes is suppressing inventions like this laughable. Yeah, evil corporations are subjugating the Little Man.

    I hate those guys at Carl Zeiss! ;-)

    Uh, "Big Microscope" is probably the same guys that make colonoscopes, I would call that VERY intimidating!

    At least he mentioned that other people were involved. As opposed to this guy, who says "The night I invented 3D printing"... http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/13/tech/innovation/the-night-i-invented-3d-printing-chuck-hall/
