3 credits

Introductory microscopy examines the theoretical concepts and instrumentation design of optical-, electron-, and scanning probe microscopes used to probe biochemical and biological systems, while cultivating critical thinking and communication. Hands on laboratories and site visits include bright-field-, phase-contrast-, fluorescence-, scanning and transmission electron-, and atomic force microscopy. ***Prerequisite: BIOC 321 (may be taken concurrently)***
