THE microscopic world of creepy-crawlies was laid bare during a York science exhibition.
The Art Of Bioscience: Perception And Reality, invited visitors to go eye to eye with a bed bug and explore the hidden dimensions of the microscopic world.
Examples from the home and food industry highlighted the impact of bioscience on daily life and visitors saw plant-related products such as clothes made from nettle fibres and plant pots made from potato skins.
Meanwhile, people could look at a photo gallery displaying images of real-life scientists and the environment in which science is performed. The event, at York Guildhall, was organised by the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP) at the University of York and supported by Yorkshire Forward.
