Post by RaZias »

This is a laser microscope, you just need to point a laser to a suspended droplet and the projection will show you living organisms.

What´s more strange is that some of these micro-organisms are pressed up to 120 psi and expelled at high speed from a rocket...what type of crazy people do that ?...I don´t know :D
