The Institute of Electronics welcomed over 100 schoolchildren and students on the Open Doors Day
More than 100 schoolchildren and students went through the laboratories of the Institute of Electronics of BAS on the Open Doors Day held on 12 December. How biological tissue absorbs and scatters light and why food glows were told by scientists to primary school pupils, high school and university students. Researchers showed how to perform spectral analysis of foods and beverages based on their fluorescence. Through experiments, the scientists presented the basic laws of reflection, refraction and scattering of light. With demonstration models made of plasticine, students learned how cells attach to surfaces structured by the scientists at the institute. Visitors had the opportunity to observe the newly obtained structures with a microscope. The programme of the Open Doors Day at the Institute of Electronics [...]
