Virtual Lab simulates sophisticated science instruments such as the Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy Dispersive Spectrometer, Atomic Force Microscope, and a Light Microscope. NASA has partnered with UCF to develop a website for teacher support in integrating this exciting tool into the classroom. Visit the Beckman site to download the software.
