Introduction to Microscope Work

Today students had an introduction to working with microscopes which included identifying the parts of the microscope, proper techniques and looking at a variety of slides. Students had the opportunity to look at:

Human blood
Human scalp with hair and sweat glands
Human lung
Frog skin
Large intestine from a mammal
Pollen from a Lily
Spirogyra (a freshwater algae)
Gills from a catshark
A cross section of stem from a Basswood tree.

HOMEWORK: READ THE PROCEDURE FOR LAB 1: MAKING WET MOUNT SLIDES (posted above).

You will have a pre-lab quiz on the procedure. You may use any notes that are in your own handwriting. You do NOT need to print a copy of the lab.
