Microworld

The world, when viewed through a microscope, looks completely different from what we imagine. Under magnification of hundreds or even thousands of times, a hair transforms into a tree trunk with thick bark, sand grains into a scattering of bizarre... crystals, and a millimeter fly into a formidable creature with huge facet eyes, a toothy jaw, a long saw-like proboscis, and large hairy legs. By turning the pages of this unique augmented reality edition, you will immerse yourself in the microworld – an incredible hidden "universe" composed of molecules, atoms, neutrons, and other minuscule particles. Look at your palm: a trillion neutrinos emitted by the Sun are flying through it at this very moment. Did you notice? Yes, the microworld is not visible to the naked eye, but it is ready to reveal its secrets to young science enthusiasts.

Prepare to be amazed by the beauty and diversity of the microscopic "bricks" presented in this book that make up all living and non-living things. In the mysterious microworld, something is happening every second: cells grow and divide, antibodies fight viruses, bacteria tirelessly process proteins, fats, and even carbon dioxide or iron, in a drop of water, infusoria struggle, microscopic algae form balls or unite into long ribbons. Numerous visual diagrams and illustrations, a wealth of spectacular photographs obtained through light and electron microscopy, as well as the best examples of macro photography will help you to see the real magic hidden in the most diverse objects and phenomena of the microworld – from the northern lights to water blooming, from the slow movement of a microscopic "bear" called a tardigrade to the fluttering of tiny hummingbirds waving their wings energetically. Thanks to 4D visualization, you will be able to be inside molecules, cells, and organs, examine tiny organisms in all details, volume, and movement, and also listen to audio recordings with interesting facts that delve deeper into the mysteries of the invisible "universe". For middle and high school age.
