A fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence instead of other light properties to generate an image.

Cytoplasmic streaming is the movement of the cytoplasm within a cell. It plays an important role in transporting essential molecules across big cells.

Microscopy stains enhance the visualization of cells and cell parts under a light microscope. Methylene Blue, Eosin Y, Bismarck Brown Y, Janus Green B, Neutral Red, Gram’s Iodine Solution, Copper(II) sulfate, and Copper(II) acetate.

We discuss the place where to find paramecium, how to make paramecium culture at home, how to look at paramecium under a microscope.

Our idea is to cover the microscope parts that each user may touch with plastic wrap. Between two users, the plastic wrap cover will be replaced to prevent potential viruses from transfer.

Paramecium reproduction, aging, learning and memory ability, movement, sensing, feeding behaviors, and their endosymbiotic relationship with algae.

Paramecium uses cilia for movement. It contains two types of nuclei, Macronucleus for gene expression and Micronucleus for genetic material storage.

Were images taken by electron microscopes? You will learn how to recognize images from EM and the difference between SEM and TEM.
