Microscopy

Microscopy is a project conducted at the Rhode Island School of Design Edna Lawrence Nature Lab. The Nature Lab is a museum that grants artists the opportunity to conduct projects inspired by natural history collections. During my time at The Nature Lab, I gained access to a variety of stereo microscopes used to visualize prepared glass slide mounts of non-living organisms and microscopic living organisms.
