Through fluorescence microscopy, we’ll discover structures that would otherwise be invisible under a standard optical microscope: such as bacteria, tissues and cellular components. We’ll learn through play how to use the FACS machine, which detects fluorescence in marked cells and separates cell populations to help scientists distinguish between them. Finally, we’ll discover two Interreg projects which aim to help plants grow by improving their soil, and to shorten the process of making scientific results available to the general population.
