Document Summary

Set up fungus culture: inoculate aspen wood shavings, wheat bran, gypsum, and water mixture with fungal mycelium (network of fungal hyphae, tubular filaments=basic growth form during vegetative phase) *pleurotus sp. (phylum- Set up fern spore culture: using a serial dilution, *ceratopteris sp. (phylum- Pteridophyta)(c-fern) will later germinate and grown into reproductive structures gametophytes. Set up arabidopsis thaliana (phylum-angiosperm) seedlings in low phosphate or control phosphate levels. Parafilm around plate to maintain sterile internal environment and keep in moisture. Use a bunsen burner to sterilize the air. Hold the lid of petri plates at a 45 angle. Don"t breathe directly onto cultures, solutions, or medium: compound light microscope: 3 lens system: condenser lens (focuses light on the specimen), objective lens (magnifies the image), ocular lens (magnifies image and inverts it contains ocular micrometer) Body tube: contains prism that allows light to pass from objective lens to ocular lens.
