Digital Microscope

Synopsis
The Digital Microscope is a CD-ROM designed to mimic a real microscope of the kind used in most research laboratories. The DM allows slides to be examined from a range of animal, plant and microbial specimens, which have been treated in a variety of ways to allow study of particular components of cells and tissues. Shows how to interpret these slides and gain an understanding of the important factors that must be taken into account when making such interpretations. Also shows how to make measurements and drawings of cells and tissues and take ‘photomicrographs’ to import into an electronic workbook.

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
