Document Summary

This lab exercise provides an overview of plant structure with a focus on the internal cells and tissues of plants which requires use of microscopes. This exercise will build your hands-on skills in working with microscopes while reinforcing root, stem and leaf anatomy and functions. Configure and use a compound light microscope to produce images allowing you to describe the plant organs from prepared slides: compound light microscopes with wifi-enabled cameras. Your ta will go through proper use and care for the compound light microscopes you will be using throughout this semester. Use the microscope in front of you to follow along with your. Ta while they cover how to use the microscope and camera systems. Be sure that you know where to find and how to adjust the important parts of the microscope: coarse focus knob stage controls on/off switch ocular lenses fine focus knob light control dial iris diaphragm objective lenses.
