Nanocam: a trip into biodiversity is a microscopic joyride into the five kingdoms of life. With the latest 3D animation
technology and based on real electron microscope imagery, this show offers a unique,
motivating, didactic and funny approach to biology that has never been seen like this
before.
Join Hugo and Marcos as they rush to finish an assignment before heading off to the
big game. But when they find the Nanocam microscope simulator online, their tedious
task turns into a fascinating voyage of discovery into worlds they'd never dreamed
of before.
This show will shrink you down to the size of an insect and fly you through the eye
of a needle in a 28-minute show followed by a live 30-minute presentation on the biological
uses of electron microscopes. Ticket reservations are available online only. Remaining
tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the door on the day of
the show. The planetarium will open for seating 30 minutes before the start of each
show. You must be in the theater 10 minutes before the show starts. Reserved seats
will be released after this time to stand-by customers. There is no entry after the
show begins.
