Is Seeing Believing?

Synopsis: When trying to understand and interpret the structure and functions of living cells and their organelles, an idea of scale is vital. This programme puts the size of cellular structures into perspective and explains methods by which scientists can bring cells and cellular structures into view under the light and electron microscopes. Interpreting what is actually seen is more difficult. The Golgi body is used an example of what problems can occur with interpretation of visual images when only limited information is available.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
