Prelab: Observing Protozoan Diversity

/in /by

 

 

In lab this week, we will be observing 6 types of live protozoa under the microscope. We will also use different filters to change the color of the background and get more contrast with the microscope. Answer these questions and submit this document before lab. You can find the answers using the links provided, or use other sources. There are Wikipedia pages about all of the specimens we will be looking at.
