Basic principles of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and potential uses in biological studies. Each student selects a project and learns the fundamentals of specimen preparation, operation of the TEM, and image acquisition. Preparation, assessment and interpretation of the resulting electron micrographs culminate in an individual portfolio.
Prereq: BIOL-220 or BIOL-230.
There will be an additional self-scheduled, weekly 1-2 hour lab during which students will receive microscope training.
Permission is required for interchange registration during all registration periods.
