All the Better To See You With

Microscopes like the one you used to examine slides in high school biology class were developed in Holland in 1595. Four hundred years later, the UA College of Optical Sciences and Department of Pathology collaborated to design a radically new kind of microscope: ultra-fast, ultra-precise, and plugged in to the digital era. DMetrix, an Arizona firm and UA spin-out led by president Michael Descour, licensed the technology through the Office of Technology Transfer and is developing the innovation into a reliable product to give doctors a new diagnostic tool for 21st century healthcare. Worth the wait.
