NASA’s Virtual Lab site, available to teachers and students, serves as home base for the Imaging Technology Group’s contributions to the project, funded by NASA’s Virtual Laboratory Initiative.

The site offers a virtual scanning electron microscope (virtual SEM or VSEM) and a virtual light microscope (VLM). Access to the site, tutorials on how these microscopes work, datasets for both, animated microscopy tutorials, lesson plans, and other related educational tools are available free of charge.
