IDL 2026 – From Light to Image: Build Your Own Microscope

We are happy to invite you to our next event to celebrate the International Day of Light!

Join us for “From Light to Image: Build Your Own Microscope”. This edition will feature a hands-on workshop where participants will build a fully functional microscope by snapping together and assembling various optical and mechanical components.

Through this interactive process, you will explore how lenses shape light to form images and discover the fundamental principles of optics in a simple and intuitive way. At the end of the session, you will be able to test your instrument and capture your own microscopy images!

 Location: Room 8.1.1
 Date: May 18, 2026

We look forward to seeing you there!
