A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Microscopy and the cell theory

This topic brings together two foundation ideas in biology: how microscopes make cells visible, and the cell theory that explains what cells are in living things. For exams, you must master the parts and principles of simple light microscopy, basic concepts of magnification and resolution, and the major statements and significance of cell theory.
