Using time-lapse photography, electron microscopy and nanotechnology, you’ll be able to take a closer look at a universe of creatures, processes and phenomena you never even knew existed such as the flight of a dragonfly, the bacteria living on our bodies and even the invisible rays of light which surround us all.
