Project Description

The eSTORM is intended to be a teaching instrument for use in the learning of basic imaging principles, in particular aimed at superresolution techniques. For this, we are building an inexpensive and simple version of the laboratory grade instruments, and we hope to keep the costs low enough for high schools and small universities.
