Proposal Number: III-9361277 PI: Mary Appelhof Institution: Flowerfield Enterprises Title: Videomicroscopy of Live Earthworms This project will adapt videomicroscopy and use of fiber optics similiar to those used for endoscopy in medicine to study eartrhworms. The equipment will allow direct observation of earthworm digestive tracts, pumping pairs of hearts, the inside of their burrows and the emergence of the worms from their cocoons. This will be possible because young worms are quite translucent. A videotape record of what the students see using the new equipment will also be possible. Teacher and student evaluations of existing videotape will be used to determine the optimum array of equipment to be built.

提案编号：III-9361277 PI：Mary Appelhof 机构：Flowerfield Enterprises 标题：活蚯蚓的视频显微镜 该项目将采用视频显微镜和光纤的使用，类似于医学内窥镜检查中使用的光纤来研究蚯蚓。该设备将能够直接观察蚯蚓的消化道、心脏的泵送、洞穴的内部以及蚯蚓从茧中出现的情况。 这是可能的，因为幼虫是半透明的。 学生使用新设备看到的情况也可以用录像记录下来。 教师和学生对现有录像带的评估将用于确定要建造的最佳设备阵列。
