{description=Shows operation of the microscope really well. Seems too easy, there must have been some extra setup before however. Impressed by how fast the image update, it is basically instantaneous. Produced by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Schwab from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlsruhe_University_of_Applied_Sciences[Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences].}
