This course is aimed at introducing the basic principles and concepts of microscopy and histological techniques. Basic principles of bright-field, dark-field, phase contrast, fluorescence, confocal and electron microscopes will be taught. Factors of light applications, colour and electromagnetic wave in microscopy will also be discussed. Concepts such as magnification, resolution, contrast, image formation, numerical aperture, illumination, and depth of field will be elaborated. Basic histology of animals and plants involving the structures of cells, tissues and organs related to their functions will be discussed. Students will conduct practical using different techniques of microscopy and basic histology.
