Student will have skills in the understanding of the light microscopy techniques and in orientation in the basic parameters of microscopes. Students will be to able to make of biological preparate, microscopically analyze them and make correct observation outputs. They will have deeper understating of plant and animal cellular structure, tissues and principles of heredity.
