Microbiology is the study of very tiny organisms called microbes. This includes bacteria, parasites and fungi. Learn more about bacteria, how they sometimes make us ill, and how they can help us in our daily lives.
Here you will find a series of images taken by scientists based at the University of Dundee that highlight the microbes they work with. The images in the collection are part of a physical exhibition located at the Dundee Science Centre.

Welcome to the world of microbes! While many are too small to see without help, they have a huge impact in the world. You will explore this amazing world in ‘Exploring Microbiology’.
A group of our scientists have been hard at work for Girlguiding participants in Dundee and beyond! Our ‘Medicine Maker’ badge has been introducing girls and women to the hugely varied work WCAIR does. They can explore how our scientists work, take part in experiments and discover some of the amazing contributions made by women in science.
Plant Power is a celebration of plants and those who work with them.
