The VSU House of Scientific Collaboration (HSC) gets new equipment

7 Views

Biological research can be carried out at various levels. Microbiology is especially exciting. To study it, you will need a microscope which can provide 1500x magnification. This magnification enables the researchers to see not only the shape of a bacterial cell but also its structures. All this makes it possible to conduct a quantitative analysis of the microflora of the environment.

Thus, physiological and biochemical research is one of the most promising areas for HSC. The research includes the study of medicinal plants of the region, the influence of the environment on living organisms, using various groups of pesticides (growth regulators, herbicides, and fertilizers), etc.

New up-to-date high power microscopes have been purchased for the House of Scientific Collaboration of VSU for biological and environmental research.

Micromed-5 LOMO microscope can provide 1500x magnification. When using the stereomicroscope Micromed MC-2-ZOOM you will be able to see the 3D samples of biomaterial.  It is worthwhile mentioning that the samples do not change their natural coloring.

This equipment will be useful for the students studying courses such as “Chemistry around us”, “Environmental safety”, Practical microbiology”, and “Cell Engineering”.

These purchases were possible owing to the funding from the regional budget.
