Slide 1 of 4

The compelling nature of the imagery used in the project is a catalyst for learning more about genetics and human health. Here we see a view of fibroblast skin cells at 1000X.

Zooming Into DNA allows users to view real scientific images of cells, chromosomes, and DNA. Information about the microscopes and techniques used to capture the images, along with a comparative "scale tool" are also provided in this online exhibit.

Working closely with The Tech Museum of Innovation, Ideum designed and developed this feature including the content as part of the Understanding Genetics online exhibition. This project was developed using Macromedia Flash.
