Advancements in Semiconductor Technology Enable Miniaturization of Microscopic Observation Devices

IDDK’s microscopic observation device, “AminoME,” is less than 10cm in length but can observe the world down to 0.001mm, just like a biological microscope for researchers, by simply connecting it to a computer. With MID technology (One-Chip Microscopic Observation Technology), experiments can be conducted in a space as small as a lunch box. Thus, it has garnered attention from the field of space biology research in various countries, including Southeast Asia.

Revolutionizing Space Bio-Experiments with Laboratory Space-Saving

IDDK is planning space experiments for educational purposes aimed at elementary and middle school students who will lead the space industry 20 or 30 years from now. This involves launching an experimental unit on a satellite and then retrieving the returned materials. This first encounter with space is bound to be a significant step for the young people who will shape the future.
