About the conference
Imagine being able to travel through a world so small that the cells in your body seem as big as people. The microscope has this magical power to reveal a whole new universe to us. This ancient yet revolutionary invention has led to incredible discoveries and continues to amaze us.
Today, microscopes are everywhere: in hospitals, in the study of gemstones, and even in the analysis of works of art. Over the years, technological advances have made it possible to observe ever-smaller objects. What is the history of microscopy up to the present day? How far can the exploration of the invisible go?
