From 2009 to 2021, scientists and researchers from six countries, including 27 universities and research organizations, spent thousands of hours employing the remarkable power of the Light Microscopy Module (LMM) to study a variety of physical and biological phenomena on board the International Space Station.

LMM helped make the invisible world of colloids more visible and was used for research in soft matter/complex fluids (colloids and gels), fluid physics (heat pipes), biophysics (protein crystallization, drug delivery), plant biology (gravity sensing in roots), and animal biology. Over 30 conference presentations have been given and approximately 50 journal publications published or are in development that use data directly from the space station LMM results. Although the LMM has been returned to Earth, the mission of scientific discovery isn’t over yet.
