From the invisible dance of molecules inside living cells to the breathtaking breakthroughs that redefined what we can see, this masterclass reveals how scientists use light itself to uncover nature’s secrets.

Join a team of advanced light microscopists for an illuminating journey through the Nobel-winning “tricks” that broke the limits of resolution and connect A level physics, chemistry, and biology to the frontiers of modern science.

This event is part of our Masterclasses series and is open to students in Years 12 and 13.
