In ARTIS-Micropia, three aquariums are filled with water from a countryside ditch, seawater, and an Amsterdam canal. At first glance, it may look like ordinary water… but appearances can be deceiving! What’s wriggling around in there? The water is teeming with microbes. Take a look through the microscopes and discover the hidden world beneath the surface.

Between 12:00 and 15:00, join a volunteer at ARTIS-Micropia to discover microbial life under the microscope!
