Improving Electron Microscopic Study in the Undergraduate Curriculum

该项目提供了配套资金， 透射和扫描电子显微镜（TEM/SEM）提供 为学生提供更多的学习和实验机会， 细胞水平。 这一发展的核心是一门理论课程 和电子显微镜技术，旨在让学生熟悉 TEM和SEM的设计和操作原理。 通过 密集的实验室教学，学生获得“动手”的经验， TEM和SEM技术和操作，然后应用于选定的 研究项目。 新的TEM/SEM丰富了实验室练习 生物学计划的水平，通过关注细胞 生物体结构方面，并提供了新的机会 学生独立和生物学荣誉研究。

This project has provided matching funds to purchase a combined transmission and scanning electron microscope (TEM/SEM) to provide enhanced opportunities for students to study and experiment at the cellular level. Central to this development is a course in The Theory and Techniques of Electron Microscopy, designed to familiarize students with the principles of TEM and SEM design and operation. Through intensive laboratory instruction, students gain "hands-on" experience in TEM and SEM techniques and operation which then is applied to selected research projects. The new TEM/SEM enriches laboratory exercises at all levels of the biology program by focusing attention on the cellular aspects of organismal structure, and provides new opportunities for student independent and honors research in Biology.
