LASER POWERED MICROSCOPES

As viruses and bacteria become more complex and more sophisticated, there is now a need for more advanced laser powered microscopes and supercomputers, and there are no other ways around that. Old equipment that we have been using over the years could probably still work, but are no longer accurate and are rather slow. The choice is very clear. Either we buy the new equipment or not. If we don’t, our analysis of viruses and bacteria will always be slow and inaccurate. Never mind the slowness, but we can not do away with accuracy, because the readings will be useless if these are not on the spot. In technology, it is always a balance between speed and accuracy. While some might argue that this equipment is too expensive and is perhaps not affordable, I will argue on the other hand that there is no price to the human life that could be saved or lost, depending on which way it will go. Add to that the disruption in social life that epidemics and pandemics can cause. Perhaps before, the need for this equipment was occasional, but that is no longer the case nowadays. For example, many viruses are constantly mutating, and therefore we need to know what their characteristics are, as soon as possible. Not knowing the new mutations of these viruses would mean our not knowing what to do, as fast as possible. This is a matter of life and death. IKE SENERES/09088877282/02-04-2024
