The first episode of the program "The Wonderful Machine" is dedicated to the ear.

2. L'occhio
From the cornea to the lens up to the retina: discovering the eye, Piero Angela begins his exciting journey with the eyelids, "shutters", he says, with different functions such as "protecting the eye, isolating the brain from light and thus promoting sleep , but also constantly cleaning the cornea thanks to rapid movements".

"A world full of surprises", this is how Piero Angela announces it, his special patrol inside the bones of our "wonderful machine". How many bones do we have at birth?

When observed under a scanning electron microscope, the organ reveals many interesting details that are worth paying attention to.
