Independent Space Index 2025 @ OpenCave

Additionally, two microscopy workshops invite visitors to freely explore the microworld within Margit's installation. You'll be able to examine prepared slides, small objects such as insects and technical components, as well as anything you bring along yourself. Ever wondered what your toothbrush looks like under a microscope? Your fingerprints or skin? Or how your hair compares to your partner’s? Bring water samples, a flower blossom, leaves—whatever sparks your curiosity! The workshops will be co-guided by Dr. Alexandra Gruber. We’ll have compound microscopes (transmitted light, 50x–400x magnification, plus one 50x–1000x), one stereomicroscope for real-time 3D viewing (reflected light, 8x–40x magnification), another with 10x magnification, and several portable microscopes for use with mobile phones.
