- Title
Accessing the Microscopic World.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the Exploratorium, a science museum filled with interactive science and art exhibits, as well as a laboratory for the research and development of innovations in science education. It is based in San Francisco, California. The primary goals of this facility are to open a door on the wonder of the microscopic world to a diverse range of museum visitors and allow them to explore it, and to allow them to make connections to science and biomedical research. To expand the use of the microscope imagery beyond that of one or two visitors, the museum authorities incorporated large plasma-screen presentations into the Microscope Imaging Station facility.
