Description: 

This interactive zoom, inspired by Eames "Powers of Ten," allows visitors to travel from the familiar scale of their hand down to DNA deep within a cell. This zoom is designed as a stand-alone visitor experience, or to be used as part of a presentation to orient visitors to the size of the nanoscale. You must follow the instructions included with the files to install the Adobe Air application! Please "Download All Files (zip)" and read the instructions first. The resource tab links are also a necessary part of the process in order to run the application directly on your computer.
