Wistar Brings Us Magnificent Magnification

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see a picture of a Wawa hoagie magnified 1500 times? Or your TA's weird mole? Or your roommate's toothbrush? Not to worry, the Wistar Institute, aka the building that was under construction for centuries, has (sort of) answered your prayers

Wistar will be hosting an exhibit of winning entries from the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition by showcasing mind-blowing photographs of everyday objects shot through microscopes and magnified at up to 1500x. In other words, everyone gets an excuse to go to a building that you otherwise will never set foot in. The exhibit lasts until March 6, so attend now before midterms begin or forever hold your peace.
