synopsis

Seeing a bee under a microscope is like touching a dream. Shamans in white coats at the Institute of Scientific Instruments in Brno reveal the haptic dimension of scientific research. They shape ideas, cross the boundaries of matter, let life into the arteries of wires and the metal body of an artificial child, an electron lithograph.
