Introduction of Videomicroscopy into Undergraduate Biology Laboratories

视频显微镜设备用于各种目的， 高级细胞生物学实验室和增强学生 研究项目：荧光显微镜用于 细胞中蛋白质的免疫荧光定位， 膜荧光染色;相差和DIC 显微镜用于观察活细胞;而 与彩色热敏打印机相连的高分辨率视频系统 提供快速且相对便宜的文档 显微图像。 视频显微镜系统有助于 课程的变化，强调理解科学作为一个 过程

Videomicroscopy equipment is used for a variety of purposes in an upper level cell biology laboratory and for enhanced student research projects: fluorescent microscopy is used for immunofluorescent localization of proteins in cells and fluorescent staining of membranes; phase contrast and DIC microscopy is used for observations on living cells; while a high resolution video system linked to a color thermal printer provides a rapid and relatively inexpensive documentation of microscopic images. The videomicroscope system facilitates curricular changes which emphasize understanding science as a process.
