Blick ins Unsichtbare – glance into the unseen - that’s the title of an exhibition, which is hosted in the State Museum of Technique and Work. As the title says, it is an exhibition about the “microscopic” world, down to the proportions of nanometers. 1 nanometer is the 1.000.000.000 part of a meter, or, as they describe very pictoral on the museum HP: the diameter of a hazelnut compared to Earth diameter.
They show the world of microscopy from Leeuwenhoek’s first microscope he used end of 17th century (not the original, but a replica on display) to the most modern high performance microscopes of todays’ researchers.
There is a very nice and hands-on explanatiory section about optics, how lenses and prismas work, and a glance in the world of “nanomaterial”, i.e. some high-tech clothes (functional textiles), microchip technology, etc.
The highlight for me were the blow-up SEM (scanning electron microscopy, high resolution microscopy) pictures of all kind of nature elements, plants, ice, rocks, and animals, parasites.
Eye of Science, biologist Nicole Ottowa and photographer Oliver Meckes display around 40 fantastic pictures of their view of the micro world. They have a special technique to prepare the objects for photography, which is explained in a videosession (don’t miss to listen to this, it is fascinating!). These two have been awarded several times, also with the World Press Award.
See their website Eye of Science for more of their pictures and work.
This exhibition is running until January 7, 2007, so still half a year from now. If you are interested in these things, make sure you won’t miss it.
The museum is open Tuesday and Thursday 9-17, Wednesday 9-20, Saturday and Sunday 10-18.
Admission fee: 3 €

I just checked your Mannheim page and the other pages you suggested with a friend who just learned about VT and who will be off to Mannheim for business next week. We wanted to thank you together. Pinar & Yücel | MichaelRees Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:53 UTC

Good page, Ingrid. I have mixed feelings about Butterflies being confined. I would love the Bookshops, though. And Farmers Market. | Mikebond Sun Jun 14, 2009 16:15 UTC
