Class Experience

This course guides students through microscope-based investigations: introducing each observation, preparing specimens, and recording detailed drawings and labels in a scientific journal at several magnifications. Classes include instructor-led observation, group discussion, occasional videos for inaccessible views, and student presentations connecting microscopy to research contexts.

Learning Outcomes

  • Observe and record living and non-living specimens using compound and dissecting microscopes

  • Draw and label observations at multiple magnifications in a scientific journal

  • Identify and describe materials such as textiles, rocks, seeds, and biological samples

  • Explain basic concepts and applications of electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy

  • Present microscopy findings and relate observations to current research examples
