Brain Cell Safari – Discover brain cells under the microscope

How can we identify where neurons and other cell types are located in the brain?

Using fluorescent markers, we make certain molecules in brain cells visible and can locate them using a special microscope.

After a brief introduction to the basics of microscopy and the different types of brain cells, you’ll get to use the microscope yourself.

Come and discover which cells are hidden in the brain on our ‘Brain Cell Safari’!

We warmly invite you to join us!
