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.
Assessment and permitted materials
1. Participation during course and 3 written exams at the end of each unit (c. 15 min).
2. Written protocol including results from own research (PDF).
2. Written protocol including results from own research (PDF).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
1. Participation (11 points)
2. Three written exams (each with a maximum of 15 points; 45 points in total). The exams take place at the end of each course unit and the questions are based on the course objects and content covered.
