Learning outcomes
|
This practical course has two parts. Zoological and geological-mineralogical. Students will learn microscopic zoological techniques and consolidate their knowledge of the anatomy of individual representatives of selected animal tribes. They will also learn basic geological and mineralogical techniques.
Students will acquire practical skills in microscopy, preparation of biological samples, cultivation of microorganisms, and application of biological techniques in teaching.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Practical demonstration of acquired skills, Written assignment
Zoological and geological imaging techniques. Students will learn the principles and capabilities of instrumental physicochemical methods for imaging and analysis of biological and geological samples and will become practically familiar with X-ray fluorescence instrumentation. They will develop a protocol for each exercise. Students will independently study other (recommended) imaging techniques - principles (e.g. confocal microscope, scanning electron microscope, infrared analysis, ...). Credit will be awarded for the elaboration of laboratory protocols from each exercise.
