Crazy New Microscope

Summary: New laser scanning confocal microscope (NSCM) cures skin cancer in a single snapshot! The new laser is actually 4-D and scans the skin one layer at a time. With the new NSCM they can look at skin with infrared lasers or visible lasers without harming or peeling skin. Also the new microscope will be able to detect early signs of melanoma a skin cancer, but for right now it will be used for non-medical purposes.

Critique: This is great for medical purposes and will help out A LOT.

Impact: Cases of skin cancer will be tracked and terminated so that's one cancer down and more to eventually come in the future.
