Shribak begins enlarging images of diatoms, tardigrades, and sea urchins, each containing colorful details that are usually invisible to the human eye. Humans typically perceive two properties of light: intensity (brightness) and wavelengths (color). The microscope Shribak developed and patented at the MBL in 2009, the polychromatic polarization microscope, allows him to visualize and record another property of light: Polarization.
