Seeing is Believing: An Investigative Microscopy Project for Introductory Biology Students This is an investigative process oriented microscopy project in an Introductory Biology Course for majors. This project facilitates learning basic microscopy and also teaches observation, critical thinking, and research skills. Students use both light and scanning electron microscopes as investigative tools. The photomicrography equipment enables students to record data about chosen specimens and subsequently analyze structure (i.e., measuring size of various cellular features, etc.). The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provides greater levels of resolution, and the opportunity to do comparative structural analysis in addition to its function of recording data. Implementation of this project will improve the quality of the laboratory experience in an Introductory Biology Course. It will allow beginning students hands-on access to modern instrumentation, improve research skills, and provide opportunities for a process oriented learning experience rather than the traditional cookbook approach.

眼见为实：针对生物学入门学生的研究性显微镜项目 这是专业生物学入门课程中面向过程的研究性显微镜项目。 该项目有助于学习基本的显微镜学，并教授观察、批判性思维和研究技能。 学生使用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜作为研究工具。 显微摄影设备使学生能够记录所选标本的数据并随后分析结构（即测量各种细胞特征的大小等）。扫描电子显微镜（SEM）除了记录数据的功能外，还提供更高水平的分辨率，以及进行比较结构分析的机会。该项目的实施将提高生物学入门课程的实验室体验质量。它将允许初学者亲身接触现代仪器，提高研究技能，并提供面向过程的学习体验而不是传统的食谱方法的机会。
