3D Printing to Create Microscopes Using Fewer Resources

Graduate School of Science

Professor Hiroki Wadati

Conventional microscopes are expensive and large, and everyday microscopic measurements are difficult.

We are developing an inexpensive and small microscope using a 3D printer. We hope that these portable microscopes would create major changes at research and education sites.

In particular, I believe that looking at the magnetic domain structure of magnets will lead to the development of new types of computer memory using domain wall displacement.
