It could zoom in on a very small area and take high-resolution images, even the space between the olfactory bulb and the cribriform plate, but there was one problem: the flow of the liquid was not measured accurately.
Normally, the chances of something going wrong with such a tiny microneedle were very slim, but they hit the jackpot with extremely bad luck.
