Researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) of the United States are creating an microscopic technology that will find out if there is any other life on Earth outside of the Earth.

Their device is named Digital Holographic Microscope. It will search the microbes in space, the technology site next web report.

Earlier, in 1976, the US space agency NASA actively sought out life outside the Earth for the "Vikings" space project. From now on, the scientists have not explained clearly what might be the best way to find this. However, money and time spent on the search of water on another planet. The problem of finding water is to decide what is actually inside it.

If you do this research by sending a living organism, there is no way to ensure that it will return. There is no scope for scientists to use a conventional microscope to carry out experiments with space samples.

The conventional method of using lenses was not used to maximize an object on this device. It has been used in lasers, which will show 3D movement of microscopic components. Then there will be an analysis of any movement or any organism of this movement.

This device has no moving parts. Researchers have a special look at Saturn's satellite- Enceladas. This satellite has an ice shell, with the warmth of its vapor in the space. There is a possibility of a small asteroid in space. The digital holographic microscope that Caltech is making, will find out whether any microbes exist in steam other than Enceladas.

Scientists tested this device in the North Pole. Now they are planning to run a test in the more difficult environment of the South Pole. Caltech professor Jean Nadiao said, "We are trying to create a microscope that maximizes our ability to find life everywhere in the world. Because if we can maximize our ability to run the life in the most difficult environment of the world, then we can get as close as possible to find it on other planets. "
