The paper deals with the problem of imaging at the microscale. The trifocal transfer based novel view synthesis approach is developed and applied to the images from two photon microscopes mounted in a stereoscopic configuration and observing vertically the work scene. The final result is a lateral virtual microscope working up to 6 frames per second with a resolution up to that of the real microscopes. Visual feedback, accurate measurements and control have been performed with, showing it ability to be used for robotic manipulation of MEMS parts. Keywords: Novel view synthesis, trifocal tensor, photon microscope, microassembly, micromanipulation, MEMS.
