This was an invited didactive lecture that was part of the 2019 hands on Bangalore Microscopy Course.
Getting trained on a variety of techniques and microscopes plays an increasingly important role in various scientific disciplines. I have served as an instructor for the Bangelore Microscopy Course since 2014 and helped out the imaging fascility at NCBS whenever needed while I was on campus.
To become practically aware of how techniques work we should all be opening that black box. Looking inside and if possible tinkering with some of the elements will give you a true feeling of how stuff works.
To brigde the gap between I have been invited to give a seminar/workshop on the scietific method to art and design students at Shristi.
To disseminate science to the wider public I have also been involved with small laser lab demonstrations during institute open days.
