Humans and animals have tiny roommates: microbes. Compare the microbes that live on different people with those found on and inside insects. Among them, you’ll also discover true symbionts that are the focus of our research.
Plants and insects are an important source of new medicinal compounds. Their metabolic products are used to treat and alleviate diseases. We present plants, insects, and their medically significant compounds.
What might current concepts and technologies for local supply look like? During hourly lab tours, we showcase digital applications, smart store technologies, and research approaches at the Local Supply Real-World Lab.
Discover the world on a tiny scale and explore it for yourself. Try out microscopes, examine fascinating specimens, and embark on a journey of discovery with the microscopy quiz. An experience for young and old alike—to marvel, learn, and get involved.
Two years before the opening, you’ll get a sneak peek at this innovative exhibition: You’ll have the chance to interact with historical objects yourself, gaining unique insights, all enhanced by interactive stations on optics and photonics.
