Please answer with what topic you’re on! And remember, if you have anything to share, go for it!
I have a test on Molecular Genetics Thursday, then we’re finishing up with Plants after spring break. (My school/area was flooded the first month of school so we’re behind a bit.)

Techniques to Study Anatomy →
Study of Dead Tissue:
1. Gross anatomy - with the naked eye
2. Microscopic anatomy
Light microscope - 1,000 times magnification
Electron light microscope (aka EM) - >30,000 times magnification
Transmissions EM (TEM) - electrons pass through tissue
Scanning EM (SEM) - scans surface of tissue
Study of Live Tissue:
1. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) - anatomy
2. Functional NMR -...

After all, it won’t hurt anyone but you if you choose...
