A MANY-COLORED GLASS: ETHEREAL IMAGES OF MICROSCOPIC MARINE LIFE
Saturday, August 7 - Sunday, October 31, 2010
Art and science come together in A Many-Colored Glass, an exhibit of 24 color-enhanced photomicrographs of diatoms(single-celled algae) and dinoflagellates created by Florida scientist Dr. Paul Hargraves and Rhode Island artist Fay Darling. The beauty of the diatom and its scientific role as a key indicator of water quality are explored. The Academy of Natural Sciences' collection of these important microalgae is the biggest in North America and includes invaluable survey and research data covering many years.
