Research can be beautiful! While examining the glue joints in plywood, students at the CICS @th_koeln applied dye to make individual materials more visually distinct. Sometimes, this can lead to fascinating and frankly #beautiful images, when viewed through a #microscope.

Sometimes you find treasures in trash! This swing chair was supposed to be discarded because of the broken seat. Instead, it ended up with a conservator who is happy to take care of it. #ALTtext #diy #conservation
