Images from Science - Wissenschaftsbilder 7 Aug - 18 Sept 2009

The exhibition "Images from Science - Wissenschaftsbilder" is based on the collection "Images from Science 2" brought together by the internationally recognized School of Photographic Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), USA.

This travelling exhibition will have its first and yet only stop in Europe and presents about 60 exciting contemporary images from the fields of astronomy, engineering, physics, medicine, and biology. The images have been made with techniques ranging from conventional macro photography and high-speed photography via radiography to scanning force microscopy, and they provide fascinating insights into areas not usually accessible to the human eye.

The exhibition will be shown at the new "Haus der Wissenschaft" ("House of science"), which is situated on the campus of Braunschweig Technical University. The presentation of the images is accompanied by a number of lectures, tours and related events for school classes and public groups.
