infocus #30 June 2013 Darwin's Unseen Specimens & Artifacts

The purpose and theory behind my project is to bring unseen slides into the public domain by making beautiful images from historically important material. I hope to produce an exhibition accompanied by a book, to engage public interest in our history and scientific relevance of specimen collections as well as micrography and
photomicrography.
