The Nikon Small World Exhibit is regarded as the leading forum for showcasing the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light microscope. Each year, the exhibit travels throughout North America at selected museums and centers for science. The Marine Biological Laboratory is pleased to be the only exhibit venue in the Northeastern United States.
