9351652 Tuchman The Department of Biology has a diverse undergraduate curriculum with the majority of the resources directed towards courses and undergraduate research in health-related subjects (e.g. Histology, Vertebrate Physiology, Microbiology, and Neurobiology). We will enhance laboratories in limnology and plant physiology using a configuration of microscopes and video systems that will allow students to study plant cellular process and the aquatic environment. The new laboratories will use a compound microscope that magnifies within the range of 40X to 1670X, including feature for bright field, phase contrast, Nomarski and fluorescence, and a stereoscope that magnifies from 3.8X to 128X including fiber optics. Attached to the microscope stages are video cameras. Each unit also has photographic capabilities. In addition, a video cassette recorder with time-lapse capabilities will be used to record responses to stimuli, behavior, and development. Thus, this equipment will enhance the Department of Biology's ability to provide a current state-of-the-art hands-on education to undergraduate majors interested in pursuing non-health related disciplines. ***

9351652图奇曼生物系设有多样化的本科课程，大部分资源用于健康相关学科(如组织学、脊椎动物生理学、微生物学和神经生物学)的课程和本科研究。我们将加强湖沼学和植物生理学实验室，使用显微镜和视频系统的配置，使学生能够研究植物细胞过程和水环境。新实验室将使用一种在40X到1670X范围内放大的复合显微镜，包括亮场、相位对比度、诺马尔斯基和荧光功能，以及包括光纤在内从3.8倍到128倍放大的立体显微镜。显微镜工作台上安装了摄像机。每个单元还具有摄影能力。此外，还将使用具有延时功能的盒式磁带录像机来记录对刺激、行为和发展的反应。因此，这一设备将增强生物系为有意攻读非健康相关学科的本科生提供最先进的实践教育的能力。***
