Exhibition: MAGNIFIED
- starting March 14th
- ARTIS-Micropia
How does a microscope work? And how has microscopy changed our understanding of the invisible world?
350 years ago, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe microscopic life forms using his self-made microscope. Since then, microscopy has evolved from simple lens systems to advanced electron microscopes. Each technological breakthrough has brought new insights, allowing us to better understand how microbes shape our lives and the natural world.
In MAGNIFIED, you will experience microscopes like never before. Step into a world of lenses and light, and see how magnification and resolution determine what becomes visible. Be amazed by the evolution of microscopes and admire rare instruments that once contributed to groundbreaking discoveries. Modern technology reveals microbes in stunning detail, while mesmerising images from the Nikon Small World in Motion competition demonstrate that microscopy is also an art form.
