Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Content: The student will get an insight into the ultrastructure of different plant cells using transmission electron microscopy. The studied samples will also be investigated using light- and scanning electron microscopy.

Aims: Students should be able to identify, describe, and document the ultrastructure of different plant cells. Students will learn how to operate electron microscopes.
