Annotation -
The course provides training in the methods of light and fluorescence microscopy, good laboratory practice and rules governing the organization of a biological experiment. The course objectives further include: inspection of structure of plant and animal cells and tissues, microscopy and cytochemistry of cellular processes in practical and theoretical tasks. This course not only develops students' spatial imagination, but also teaches them to abstract and record important scientific information of the reality observed in the microscope.
Last update: MATOUSKJ (23.02.2022)
Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Describe principles the light and fluorescence microscopy lie in and will be knowledgeable in principal parameters of a light microscope.

Independently prepare microscope specimens, inspect them through the light and fluorescence microscopy, organize an experiment and properly record and interpret the observations.

Better understand organization of the cell, plant and animal tissues, mitosis and chromosomal basis of heredity, which were all in theory the subjects of preceding Biology course.
