MICR 205: Light Microscopy Techniques
MICR 205: Light Microscopy Techniques
Semester: Fall 1 cr. (0,3)
Semester: Fall 1 cr. (0,3)
A practical introduction to light microscopy techniques and digital image analysis. Students will utilize a variety of microscopes (stereo, compound, inverted, etc.) and contrast techniques (brightfield, darkfield, polarized light, phase contrast, DIC. and fluorescence) to characterize biological and inorganic materials. Successful completion of this course will qualify students for independent use of light microscopy facilities at LSSU. A minimum of one year of university coursework in a science or engineering discipline is recommended.
Prerequisite(s): MATH111 and sophomore standing, or permission of instructor
MICR 315: Electron Microscopy & Microanalysis
MICR 315: Electron Microscopy & Microanalysis
Semester: Spring 2 cr. (1,3)
Semester: Spring 2 cr. (1,3)
Instructors: D. Wright and H. Clause
A theoretical and practical introduction to electron microscopy and microanalysis techniques including SEM-EDS, TEM/STEM, IR and Raman Microscopy, uXRF, and related methods for biological and materials characterization. Successful completion of this course will qualify students for independent use of SEM-EDS, uXRF, and LDIR facilities at LSSU.
Prerequisite(s): CHEM115 and junior standing or permission of instructor
Certificate in Microscopy & Microanalysis
Certificate in Microscopy & Microanalysis
The certificate program in Microscopy and Microanalysis will prepare students enrolled in science and engineering majors for careers studying biologic and/or inorganic materials at the microscopic level. Graduates of the program will be proficient in microscopic analysis of specimens' structure as well as the characterization of their microscopic composition.
