Microscopic Explorations

A science outreach program connecting communities with the wonders of natural history, as revealed through the magic of microscopy—including a desktop Scanning Electron Microscope! In this interactive series, we bring Dr. Elaine Humphrey together with various experts to explore topics in natural history, guided by our participants’ questions and observations, and the insights of our experts.

Contact Dr. Elaine Humphrey at ech@uvic.ca to bring the traveling microscopic lab to your community!
