Take a journey from everyday life, down into the realm of microscopical wonders with Marty Jopson, the BBC One Show’s resident scientist. The adventure begins with things you can almost see but soon you will find yourself in a world totally invisible to the unaided eye. Marty will take you from the very beginnings of microscopy, through hugely magnified insects, bacteria and plants to the most up to date fluorescent techniques demonstrated live on the stage.

This show is supported by Zeiss, global leaders in the manufacture of microscopes.

Marty Jopson is a science TV presenter, live show performer, writer and strange prop builder. He has been making science television for over twenty years and has worked behind the camera as a researcher, prop builder, director, producer, executive and company manager. His career as a presenter spans over ten years as the science reporter on the BBC1 flagship programme, The One Show. He's also appeared on regional, national and international series like Invention Nation (BBC1), The House the 50s Built (C4), Food Factory (BBC1) and Brainiac (Sky1).

When not on television, he spends much of his time on stage performing hair-raising and flammable science at science festivals around the country. He has also published two books with Michael O'Mara Publishing, The Science of Everyday Life and The Science of Food.

This talk and Q&A was filmed in the Ri on 13 October 2018.
