Discover the invisible through a research-grade scanning electron microscope
Explore the invisible world of the microscale using the power of a research grade scanning electron microscope, revealing the hidden details of objects connected to the Goldfields. Discover patterns, textures, colours, and structures that are invisible to the naked eye, and gain a new appreciation for natural and cultural treasures.
Suitable for curious minds of ages 10-15, these hands-on sessions offer a unique opportunity to see familiar objects in a completely new way.
Supported by NewSpec, Inspire, Hitachi and Curtin University.
Participants aged 12 and under must be directly supervised by a parent or guardian.
