ok pretty useless as far as i am concerned. Tech already exists for large scale microscopic displays. No need for a touch screen control. Also tom's, can you be more misleading with your article titles?

200GB a scan eh? I could fit what like.. 20 scans in my main desktop? lol..
My HTPC could only fit one, my laptop could hold 2..

Considering how hard drives write at about 90MB/s if you're lucky, it'd take ages just to save one of those behemoths.

Storage space is cheap and plentiful.

What is more impressive is how this tech could be used to expand our understanding down to molecular level. Beats the heck out of a traditional microscope in some applications.

it's unlikly that anyone would want a 200GB image. If it was a RAW 24bit it would be 260,000 x 260,000
A 200MB JPG of the area of interest would be much more likely I think.
