Aim:
The course gives basic knowledge about how different methods can be used for studying cell and tissue structure and function. After the course the student will be able to:
- explain how cells and tissues should be prepared for further analysis
- for a given cell biological problem to choose appropriate analytical method
- explain the advantages and disadvantages of different analytical methods
- explain the theory behind the chosen preparation method for cells/tissue
- explain the theory behind the chosen method of analysis
- perform a theoretical project included literature search
- account for project work in written and oral
- defend their own presentation and oppose to the work of others
