Applied Optical Microscopy Calendar 2001 April 9-13.
Emphasis is on herbaceous characters of leaves, stems, roots and bark.
The information provided will form the basis for construction of reference material sets, recognition of anatomical characters and comparative analysis of unknown samples. Areas covered include anatomical characters, sampling, microtechniques, and data accumulation from both reference and unknown materials. Students are welcome to bring an object for analysis, and are encouraged to bring a laptop with CD-ROM drive to view class text. Do not send payment with your registration. While the equipment and techniques will be discussed extensively, a large portion of the course will be spent in practical laboratory exercises.
