Where may one find more about electronic (instead of optical)
microscopes and how to install sofware for such a device?

Are you sure you are asking for the right information? An electron
microscope is about the size of a large desk and uses electrons to magnify
an image instead of light waves. (a real over simplification of the method).
What "software" are you talking about?

There is an optical microscope that is basically a small TV camera that can
hook up to your computer through a USB port. I think the max magficication
is about 400 X.

Yes. I was asking the right question. U.S. Navy uses electronically
regulated periscopes so I reckoned there could be a microscope
for the similar usage. I am not sure as of the substance that is
electronically modulated but I know it is scientifically possible.

With a nanotechnology on the upheave why would one need a "large desk"?
It is the XXI century after all.

I would also be greatful if you could extend me the address
of the optical microscope you mentioned (with the USB).

Thank you for your help.
