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.
