2024 Fall Advanced Light Microscopy Class Students Microscopy Image Collection

The micrographs below showcase a variety of plant and animal samples captured by students in the BI368 Advanced Light Microscopy class. These images were acquired using different microscopy techniques available at the SMMIC, including brightfield, darkfield, modular contrast, phase contrast, polarizing, Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), fluorescence, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Each technique highlights different structural or biochemical features of the specimens, demonstrating the power and versatility of modern light microscopy in biological imaging.
