Laboratory Techniques for Light Microscopy/Gross Radiologic Techniques

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. demonstrate the practical step by step method of tissue processing for light microscope study; 2. demonstrate the principles and techniques for the use of advance light microscopes; 3. classify polarising microscope, phase contrast microscope, interference microscope, dark- field microscope and ultraviolet microscope; 4. discuss basic principles of radiological imaging of human tissue; 5. identify radiological of major body structures; 6. appreciate introduction to modern imaging techniques; and 7. state precautionary measures.

The practical step by step method of tissue processing for light microscope study shall be taught and demonstrated. The principles and techniques for the use of advance light microscopes will be taught and where possible demonstrated. Polarising microscope. Phase contrast microscope. Interference microscope. Dark-Field microscope, and ultraviolet microscope. Basic principles of radiological imaging of human tissue. Radiological identification of major body structures. Introduction to modern imaging techniques. Precautionary measures.
