Description:
Enjoy the film: "Microcosm, Virtual Voyage through the Human Body".
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to explore the eye, navigate through the brain or hang on as blood surges past you from the heart’s valves, this fantastic voyage for you. You’ll travel through a cell, into the nucleus, and watch as a virus attacks.
In Microcosm an armada of nanoshells, displayed as yellow submarines, sets out in the blood stream, through the eye, ear and brain, in search of a deadly virus. The virus is found, a fierce battle wages over the Planetarium dome, and the patient is saved.
