Whether museum scientists are studying parasites, people or planets in other solar systems, cutting-edge imaging technologies such as infrared photography, scanning electron microscopes and CT scanners now make it possible to examine details that were previously unobservable. This exhibition, curated by Mark Siddall, curator in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, features more than 20 sets of large-format images that showcase the wide range of research being conducted at the museum as well as how various optical tools are used in scientific studies.
