Modern Video-Integrated Microscope Systems for Introductory Through Senior-Level Laboratories

地质科学系正在购买各种光学设备，用于三级本科教育。第一层是在入门级实验室使用视频集成显微镜，以提高学生的理解力和实验室生产力。第二个层次是将视频技术引入研究矿物和岩石的质地、组成和光学性质的高年级本科生实验室。第三层次是建立本科研究型显微实验室。

The Department of Geological Sciences is purchasing a variety of optical equipment for use in a three-tiered approach to undergraduate education. The first tier is use of video- integrated microscopes in the introductory-level laboratories to increase student comprehension and laboratory productivity. The second level is the introduction of video technology into the upper-division undergraduate laboratories studying texture, composition and optical propoerties of minerals and rocks. The third level is the establishment of an undergraduate research microscopy laboratory.
