Course content
Principles of health and safety in biological laboratory. Work with light microscope. Methods for increasing of the contrast of views in light microscopy (dark field, phase contrast, DIC). Preparing of native preparation. Vital dying, plant cells and organelles. Mitosis, dying, observation of chromosomes. Meiosis. Pernament preparation, blood slide, panoptic dying. Morphology of animal cells. Differential leukocytes counts. Cytometry-measuring of cells sizes. Counting of cells. Biochemical urine test, microscopic examination of the urinary sediment. Plant tissues. Video: ultrastructure of plant and animal cells, mitosis, meiosis, and cytokinesis

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The emphasis is in particular on a perfect mastery of the work with the light microscope, including special microscopic methods (dark field, phase contrast, Nomarski differential interference contrast).
Students will be able to work with light microscope and prepare microscopical preparations.
Prerequisites
unspecified
