This November, BioLab affiliate Cristo Riffo is bringing back his very special 2-part Microscopic Photography workshop to Eastern Bloc! Suitable for beginners as well as anyone looking to creatively expand their imaging skills.

Participants will learn the basic skills required to operate stereoscopic microscopes: collecting samples, focusing, and mastering different lighting techniques, such as dark field and polarized light. While exploring the world of microorganisms, participants will learn to document their findings using digital imaging technologies, such as the Raspberry HQ camera. Participants will also learn simple yet powerful coding techniques, which will enable them to capture 4K still images, slow-motion videos, and time-lapse sequences.

WHEN: 8 November | 10:30 – 15:00 & 15 November | 10:30 – 16:00
WHERE: Eastern Bloc Annexe, 55 Rue de Louvain W # 480, Montreal
