A Whole New World: Microscope Art Exhibit Makes Major Community Connections

Michigan Technological University's Rozsa Art Galleries has opened "Nanowonder: Images from the Microscopic World," an exhibition featuring photographs taken with a Hitachi scanning electron microscope. The show displays magnified images of everyday objects like butterfly wings, toy cars, and spider legs, and is part of Hitachi's Inspire STEM Education Outreach Program. The opening reception on September 27 drew a diverse crowd, with attendees bringing their own samples for live magnification, and included special guest Sonnet the Pigeon, whose feather was featured in the exhibit.
