A while ago I had an idea to use 3d printing to bring microscopy to those unable to see it for themselves. I find biology amazing and beautiful. The BBSRC granted us funds to put together an exibition around this idea and we were able to use some of the money to purchase a 3d printer. With their help, we held an small event in London to show people with visual impairments how amazing the miniature world is. Our videographer, Samuel Hamper, captured some of the day and this video is the result.
