Content

The practical course is designed to accompany the lecture and to deepen the understanding of its content.

Different cell types are examined under the microscope, with particular emphasis on highlighting the differences between animal and plant cells.

An initial introduction to microscopic methods for investigating cellular and subcellular structures is provided (e.g., simple staining techniques).

The practical sessions also serve to develop skills in microscopy and systematic microscopic observation.
