A comprehensive internal program review and the resulting curriculum            review suggested that undergraduate majors in this Department needed            more practical exposure to light microscopy and its attendant                   techniques.  Through this project, the Department is purchasing sixteen         student phase-constrast microscopes and three fluorescence microscopes          for use primarily in the Cell Biology, Microbiology, Immunology and             Invertebrate Biology laboratories.  A TV camera, video recorder and TV          monitor also are being used with one of the phase-contrast microscopes          to enhance the study of living cells in introductory courses for majors         and non-majors.                                                                                                                                                 The use of living cells in portions of these courses, the new phase-            contrast capability, and the means for showing preparations to the whole        class, are adding significantly to the interest of students in these            courses.
