Cell Biology & Histology A560
    Introduction and use of the microscope
     
     
     
    Histology is the microscopic study of cells and tissues. It is one of the disciplines that teaches us how the organs of the body work, renew and repair themselves. A good understanding of our microfabric is central to practically every form of biological research, and certainly a necessity for those wanting to become physicians.

    The starting place is knowing how to effectively use the light microscope. Even though the electronic world is changing many aspects of the study of histology, the microscope remains the workhorse in most biological research labs, and will certainly be so in this course.

    Yes, some of the slides studied in this course will be available for review as digital images, yet knowing how to use your light microscope, and not looking like a jerk in front of your friends, is priceless.

    Please don't leave anything out, I don't want to look like a jerk.
