Every day, scientists and doctors use microscopes, MRIs and other specialised equipment to capture the infinitely small, invisible to the naked eye.
From January to March 2023, a competition was organised on the UCLouvain Woluwe campus to collect the scientific and artistic creations of members of the community.
The photos were produced by researchers using the equipment available in the laboratories and imaging platforms, as well as by students using the microscopes in courses on histology.
Presented from a less conventional angle, these images are an invitation to reveal the unsuspected artistic side of science.
Somewhere between photography and abstract art, these images are veritable artworks.
