This lab is the primary location for all work that is done through compound light microscopes. If you look in the controlled temperature room , you will see a phytoplankton experiment being conducted by Colleen Hatfield.
Phytoplankton are tiny microscopic plants that serve as the basis for the aquatic food chain.
Because of their tiny size, all phytoplankton cells must be counted on microscopes like these. Single celled organisms like ciliates are an example of microzooplankton, and copepods are an example of zooplankton.
