LABSCAPES \u2013 Views through the Microscope Exhibit<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

Works by 29 Technion researchers are on display at the exhibit \u201cLABSCAPES \u2013 Views through the Microscope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking down a research microscope reveals minute details that cannot be detected by the naked eye, enabling the scientist access to the tiniest reaches of micro and nano-scales. Hidden universes of tiny animals, crystals, cells, bacteria, viruses, and even molecules and single atoms are discovered through the microscope. This fascinating world serves as the source of inspiration for the exhibit.<\/p>\n

The images on display were taken through a diverse range of microscopes by Technion researchers working in the different areas of exact sciences, life sciences, engineering, and medicine. Among the works on display are by: 2011 Nobel laureate in chemistry, Professor Dan Shechtman, Technion President, Professor Peretz Lavie, 2014 Israel Prize winner, Professor Mordechai (Moti) Segev, and Dean of the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry, Professor Alon Hoffman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibit enables us a rare glimpse into the hidden worlds found across campus within the Technion\u2019s research labs,\u201d said Anat Har-Gil, the exhibition curator. \u201cThe idea behind \u201cLABSCAPES\u201d is that at first glance the spectacular pictures appear to be something familiar from nature, but upon reading the caption accompanying each image, the viewer discovers that the beautifully landscaped pictures are really something different, unusual and unexpected.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea for the exhibition came up during a conversation I had with Professor Yoram Reiter from the Faculty of Biology,\u201d continued Har-Gil. \u201cProfessor Reiter told me about the street exhibition he saw in Paris, showcasing images taken through a microscope lens that had an uncanny similarity to famous paintings. I really liked the idea and when I started to hunt for materials on microscopic images on the Internet I discovered a whole new world. I searched for an interesting idea that would connect images taken by researchers from different research fields and this is how I came up with the idea for the exhibit \u2018LABSCAPES.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The images by Technion researchers taken through microscope lenses are part of a fascinating and spectacular exhibit, but beyond the beauty of these impressive works of art lie, first and foremost, their scientific value.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is open to the public and is on display at the Gallery located in the foyer of the Technion\u2019s Elyachar Central Library.<\/p>\n

Reporters and photographers are invited to the festive opening of the exhibit to be held on Thursday, April 3, 2014, at 11:45, in the presence of Technion President, Professor Peretz Lavie. <\/b><\/p>\n
