Digitization enables scientists quick access to the object of research. For transparent for microscopic three-dimensional object semi-transparent, like microinvertebrates or small body parts of the organism, provided a rare database.
Most of the media used for the installation of permanent microscope slides deteriorate after a few years or decades, eventually causing total damage and loss of the object. However, restoration is labor intensive, and often unknown composition of the installation media. A digital preservation of important materials, especially the type, it is important and urgent needs.
Virtual Microscope Slide Collection – VIRMISCO project has developed a recommendation to take a pile of microscopic images of three-dimensional objects, storing and presenting series such as digital image files or z-stacks as an online platform. The essence of VIRMISCO is an online viewer, allowing the user to focus virtually through online object if using a real microscope. Additionally, VIRMISCO offers features such as searching, scrolling, zooming, measuring, change the brightness or contrast, take snapshots, leave feedback, and download complete z-stacks jpeg files or video files.
Open source systems can be installed by any institution and linked to a common database or pictures can be sent to the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz. Benefits VIRMISCO is the preservation of important materials or brittle, for the loan to avoid, to act as a digital archive for image files and to allow determination by experts from a distance, as well as providing a reference library for taxonomic studies or education, and providing image series as supplementary materials online to publication or digital voucher specimens of the probe molecule is a relevant application to VIRMISCO.

Endowing the plain fluidic chip with micro-optics: holographic microscope slide.
Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) devices that are very promising in that they allow a diagnostic function at the point-of-care. In this context, an important goal is to design the imaging scheme that can be used from the laboratory. In this paper, we introduce and test a sliding pocket hologram that allows digital holography microscope will be done without the interferometer setup. In contrast, off-the-shelf commercial plastic Chip engineered and functionalized with this goal.
Endowed with a microfluidic chip micro-optics, ie, diffraction grating and lens polymers, to build an interferometer directly on the chip, avoiding the need for a reference arm and a large external optical components. Thanks to the single-beam scheme, the system is completely integrated and robust against vibration, sharing the useful features of each common path interferometer. Therefore, it becomes possible to bring the hologram function out of the lab, moving the complexity of the optical apparatus external to the chip itself. Label-free quantitative phase contrast imaging and mapping of life samples is shown, along with the ability to refocus flexible.

Thus, the volume of fluid can be analyzed in a single shot with no need for mechanical scanning system. the proper preservation of important specimens for taxonomic identification. In the study gnats, various methods have been used for slide preparation; However, high cost, low commercial availability, and hazards associated utilizing them is not possible in some studies. Therefore, the efficacy of glycerol gelatin Kisser for slide preparation gnats are tested.Kisser glycerol gelatin, as a replacement for Canadian balsam and this Berlese fluid, is used for the installation of sandflies
