This paper presents MicroRoboScope, a portable, compact, and versatile microrobotic experimentation platform designed for real-time, closed-loop control of both magnetic and acoustic microrobots. The system integrates an embedded computer, microscope, power supplies, and control circuitry into a single, low-cost and fully integrated apparatus. Custom control software developed in Python and Arduino C++ handles live video acquisition, microrobot tracking, and generation of control signals for electromagnetic coils and acoustic transducers. The platform's multi-modal actuation, accessibility, and portability make it suitable not only for specialized research laboratories but also for educational and outreach settings. By lowering the barrier to entry for microrobotic experimentation, this system enables new opportunities for research, education, and translational applications in biomedicine, tissue engineering, and robotics.
