(Zaman Al Wasl)- Abbas al-Faouri, a Syrian refugee in Jordan, has invented a laser microscope that can be used to study microbes and bacteria in their natural environment and use them in the fields of medicine and laboratory analysis. The laser microscope can also be used in universities and schools to benefit students in their projects and studies in all stages. He invented the microscope using items from scrap markets.
Al-Faouri, who was born in the southern town of Sheikh Maskin in rural Daraa in 1997, told Zaman al-Wasl that his parents encouraged him to study and strive to reach an advanced level in education which to reach his desired goal, but the conditions of war and siege prevented him from realizing his goal, He had to flee with his family to Jordan on January 5, 2013 and he did not complete the 11th grade.
He added that refugee conditions did not stop him from pursuing his dream. He started to use the internet to dive in the world of physics and the theory of relativism itself, and after a long study, the young man achieved the first scientific research simulating the theory of relativity without any physical laws and despite the humility of his research, it was a big and important step for him.
On 20/12/2015, Al-Faouri was admitted to al-Quds College via a British diploma scholarship in the field of civil engineering he chose. During his study, he presented a simplified explanation of the general theory of relativity and his own point of view using some mechanic experimentations. His presentation rewarded him a special place among students and professors.
Abbas finished his diploma with honors and the first place in his class. After graduating with a British diploma
(level 3), the young man returned to labor work of the handicrafts he had long hated, but he was forced to secure a living. This has not stopped his interest in mathematics, physics and diving in their laws, and he is still so far in the process of understanding more of the physics that he loved from childhood until he reached his scientific invention of a laser microscope. He called the microscope the third generation, he said.
He explained that he was able to invent a microscope that relies on the laser beam mainly, while studying the physical properties of light and laser, pointing out that the mechanism of the laser microscope is working on the laser beam, which is treated by the microscope in an effective manner and then shed on a pre-equipped sample where the processed beam shows what is inside the sample in cinematic form.
Al-Faouri said that the laser release on a lens helps to break down the laser as normal light. There is no single beam, but it is scattered and falls on a sample that has been prepared in advance. It shows the inside of the sample on the principle of data show, or the mechanism of cinematic presentation. If this microscope is developed, it may replace the expensive electronic microscope, and may be comparable in terms of accuracy and the appearance of viruses and microbes.
Abbas revealed that his small and effective innovation did not cost him more than one and a half Jordanian dinars and collected his materials from the scrap markets so that he could design the initial model, adding that he could not manufacture a more efficient microscope because of the difficulty of obtaining the required materials.
The 20-year-old, who lives in Madaba, aspires to develop his new innovation to be more civilized and more efficient, hoping to have the opportunity to travel and pursue his studies and innovations in a European country.
