PITTSBURGH — A new giant screen film adventure takes audiences into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow or too small to be observed.

“Mysteries of the Unseen World,” narrated by Forest Whitaker, is showing in the Rangos Omnimax Theater at the Carnegie Science Center.

The new 40-minute large format film uses high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology to transport audiences to the secret world of nature, events, and phenomena not visible to the naked eye.

The film shows audiences what it would be like to have X-ray vision, or infrared vision like a mosquito.

Time-lapse images capture mundane events like plants creeping toward the sun and complex “slime mold” searching for food.

High-speed cameras do the opposite of time-lapse, showing slow-motion sequences of events like a rattlesnake strike, drum cymbals reverberating, a lizard running on water, popcorn popping, and lightning striking.The film also peers into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see, from the minute structures on a butterfly's wing to the tiny organisms that inhabit the human body.Show times are daily at 11:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m., plus evening shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 6 and 9 p.m.Admission is $8.50 for adults, $6.50 for children ages 3 to 12; or a $5 add-on to the general admission charge of $18.95 for adults and $11.95 for children.For more information, call 412-237-3400 or visit carnegiesciencecenter.org.Also showing at the Omnimax are “Animalopolis,” “Flight of the Butterflies” and “Hubble.”

Pollen from a birch tree, normally invisible to the human eye, is seen magnified by an electron microscope in one of the many scenes from “Mysteries of the Unseen World,” showing at the Carnegie Science Center's Rangos Omnimax Theater.
