What's hiding in the water?
At first glance, it looks just like water…
But under the microscope, there’s plenty to see. Micropia features three aquariums containing different types of water: from a farm ditch, an Amsterdam canal, and the sea.
Accompanied by a lab technician, visitors look through the microscope. What microbes are swimming, floating, and swarming through the water? And what role do these tiny organisms play in nature?
