Description
- Overview:
- This module provides a short introduction to light microscopy using two divergent yeast species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, as subjects. Students examine the yeasts at different phases of their life cycle and compare them to the much smaller bacterium, E. coli. At the end of the module,students should be able to:identify the components of the light microscopestain samples with iodine to improve contrastcorrectly adjust the microscope for different specimensidentify morphological differences between yeast species in both stationary and vegetative phasesThis module is part of a semester-long introductory laboratory course, Investigations in Molecular Cell Biology, at Boston College.
