Viking lander cameras have returned stereo and multispectral views of the Martian surface with a resolution that approaches 2 mm/lp in the near field. A two-orders-of-magnitude increase in resolution could be obtained for collected surface samples by augmenting these cameras with auxiliary optics that would neither impose special camera design requirements nor limit the cameras field of view of the terrain. Quasi-microscope images would provide valuable data on the physical and chemical characteristics of planetary regoliths.
海盗号着陆器相机传回了火星表面的立体和多光谱视图，近场分辨率接近2毫米/线对。通过用辅助光学器件增强这些相机，可以使采集到的表面样本的分辨率提高两个数量级，这些辅助光学器件既不会对相机设计提出特殊要求，也不会限制相机对地形的视野。准显微镜图像将为行星风化层的物理和化学特性提供有价值的数据。
