If eyes really are windows to the soul, IBM&a;rsquo;s latest product could lead to blockchain enlightenment.

Called a crypto anchor verifier, the technology, which is part artificial intelligence software, part an insanely sophisticated, internally developed lens can see the cells of animals, and distinguish between them.

Powered by the lens capable of perceiving objects as small as a single micron, the verifier is also designed to search out -- and understand -- the difference between a fake drug and the real deal, a cheap bottle of wine and an expensive one, and imperfections within diamonds undetectable to the naked eye.

Perhaps even more remarkable though, is the verifier is designed to do all this by downloading software developed by IBM to any smartphone. By slipping the custom lens&a;nbsp;over the smartphone camera the device is turned into a scanner with the potential to extract immense value from every layer of a supply chain.
