It was early January 2020, and discussions within the citizen science project Plankton & Arts<\/a>, which had been launched five years earlier, were in full swing, with a lot of talk about microscopy. It must be said that the project brought together a variety of profiles: scientists, sailors, engineers (makers & artisans), and artists, all passionate about the subject. They had all come together around the same topic: the exploration of life, particularly the life that drifts, that remains hidden from our eyes, the life that populates every drop of the ocean: plankton.<\/p>\n

For two years, a small group within the program had been experimenting with the development of a microscope that would allow them to see and quantify plankton from any boat at sea. In 2019, the Plankton & Arts exhibition<\/a> was launched, offering all these enthusiasts the first space to meet and exchange ideas with the general public. The event sparked a lot of enthusiasm and energy, but it also highlighted the need for a simple, robust, and high-quality tool to explore, observe, share, and satisfy our thirst for discovery and curiosity: this marked the birth of the Curiosity microscope project.<\/p>\n

This tool is now developed, produced and marketed by SeaLabX.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”30527″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” thickness=”25″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=”SeaLabX”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”30933″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
