Virtual Lab completely emulates a scanning electron microscope and allows any user to zoom and focus into a variety of built-in microscopic samples. It also comes with a set of educational materials such as a demo on how a SEM works and movies of the real thing in action.Virtual lab allows users to pan around a sample and zoom up to 3,600 x magnification. There are also controls to control focus, brightness, and contrast. It effectively simulates a real SEM's set of controls. It serves as a very accessable alternative compared to the costs of purchasing and setting up a real Electron Microscope.Virtual Lab is based on JAVA and can be run on both PC and Mac.
