Humans have invented various “scientific eyes” from the desire to “see what is invisible.” Using advanced imaging technology such as CT scanners, electron microscopes, underwater echoes, etc., we will take a peek into the hidden side of the creatures of the Beautiful Sea. Using the power of science, it depicts a surprising world that can never be seen with the naked eye. The theme is “visualization.” A number of images beyond the naked eye from special photography, and a full-body photograph filled with the photographer's ingenuity and commitment will be introduced in the form of a photo exhibition. The equipment actually used for photography is also on display. Small submersible vehicles (ROVs) that have discovered a number of new species will also appear.
