Purpose: Article describe an idea, bases and construction procedures of Material Science Virtual Laboratory. Design/methodology/approach: As an example of virtual laboratory post a virtual light microscope used in metallographic investigations is presented. It allows to study the microstructures from different materials and alloys without use of real microscope placed in real laboratory. The only necessary equipment is the computer with internet connection. Findings: Continuous progress in computer technology and observed growth of computational power opens for material engineers new ground of computer scientific activities with use of virtual reality and computer technologies. Research limitations/implications: The virtual laboratory, even the best programmed, will never be better than the modest real laboratory, but it is good for training and as introduction to further investigations on a real equipment in real laboratory. Practical implications: Virtual reality can be efficiently applied to processes of education, increasing of qualifications and for basics, predefined experiments. Originality/value: In spite of considerable creation difficulties, virtual laboratory is a future solution for environments with limited apparatus supplies.
