Australian engineers from Australian National University (ANU) recently developed the unique microscope, using beefed up barcode scanner. Their main idea was to create a special microscope that can detect bacteria of cancer.

This revolutionary microscope can film moving blood cells and neurons in the living organism, through which doctors and researcher can study the blood disorders in the human body. 

Steve Lee, a biomedical optics engineer at the ANU said, "Scientists can use our new microscope to analyze complex medical problems ranging from blood disorders and cancer to neurological disorders.” 

Lee described the functions of their new technology, saying that "The microscope can speed up or slow down to capture the slow moving cells in a blood stream or live neurons firing rapidly in the brain, making it much more flexible than other microscopes on the market.”
