Sorry to be late to the discussion, but the historian in me can't resist
interjecting. The technology of microscopic image projection has
actually been around for over 250 years! See a brief outline here:
http://sci-ed.org/documents/Heering.pdf and some images of "solar
microscopes" here:
http://physics.kenyon.edu/EarlyApparatus/Optics/Solar_Microscope/Solar_Microscope.html
Not exactly useful for the original poster's query, but (hopefully)
amusing nonetheless.
