Our world is full of things invisible to the human eye. Have you ever tried to see the micro patterns of everyday objects? Can you imagine how much life is in a drop of puddle water or a single gram of soil? Experience the world of microorganisms living around us and creatively experiment with microbes often used in the lab, including baker’s yeast and bacteria. Find out how they produce light, antibiotics and pigments.

This summer school including tuition and hands-on experiments will take you through the stunning world of microbes and microscopes. Each day you will gain new insights and will have a chance to practice yourself with expert guidance from our microbiologist lab technician.

ASCUS Lab is equipped for several microscopy techniques and houses a variety of microorganisms. Grab the chance to explore how our world is full of details, patterns, and colours. A world inhabited by microbial friends and foes interacting with ourselves and their surroundings. Our course will provide you with the skills and techniques needed to explore diverse samples in microscopic scale from both scientific and creative perspectives. All you need is yourself, a notebook and an open mind.
