Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of the course, the students are able to make simple preparations of plant material themselves and observe the structure and properties of living plant cells in the light microscope. By microscopic analysis of highly differentiated plant material the students are acquainted with the structure of the major plant tissues and the complex organization of the plant organs (stem, leaf, root). In addition, students have acquired practical experience in light microscopy.

Exam method:
The grade is based on three parts:
(1) Participation during exercises and the drawing of sketches and labelling of images (30 points)
(2) Describing or drawing of self-examined specimens as part of an examination after completing the course (40 points)
(3) Answering theoretical questions about the plant anatomy in the context of an exam after completing the course (30 points).
