Meeting Microbes

When you observe our environment at the microscopic scale, a diverse cast of tiny critters is revealed. 

You can find organisms named after celestial bodies for their captivating array of prey-capturing spikes, and single-celled organisms that contain structures resembling eyes, mouths, feet, and arms. Some produce their own food through photosynthesis, some consume their food, while others defy these classifications by doing both! 

Made evident through the microscope, the intricate and diverse forms microbes assume challenge our everyday notion of them as "simple" precursors to complex life. 

Come explore this tiny universe at Meeting Microbes with fun activities and live samples!
