P R O G R A M






The Morning Sessions will consist in tutorials held in the “Auletta” (in front of the Library) in the 1st floor of the  Laboratory of Zoology, Piazza Botta 9.

The Afternoon Sessions will be made in the Laboratory of Comparative Anatomy and Cytology, Piazza Botta 10 (1st floor). They will consist in Workshops dedicated to practical demonstration of video microscopy and to the observation with fluorescence microscopy of biological samples. The participants are invited to bring their own slides.
