Studying Plant Cellular Processes and Aquatic Organisms Through Advanced Microscopic Techniques

9351652塔奇曼生物学系有一个多样化的本科课程，大部分资源针对课程和本科生研究与健康相关的科目（如组织学，脊椎动物生理学，微生物学和神经生物学）。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，这将使学生能够研究植物细胞过程和水生环境。新实验室将使用一种放大倍数在40倍至1670倍范围内的复合显微镜，包括明场、相差、Nomarski和荧光功能，以及一种放大倍数从3.8倍至128倍的立体镜，包括光纤。显微镜载物台上装有摄像机。 每个单位也有摄影能力。此外，将使用具有延时功能的录像机记录对刺激、行为和发育的反应。因此，该设备将提高生物系的能力，为有兴趣从事非健康相关学科的本科专业提供当前最先进的实践教育。 ***

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. ***
