Before you start using our microscopes, the laminar flow bench or chemicals I ask you kindly to take two hours to prepare beforehand.
Before you start using our microscopes, the laminar hood or chemicals, please take a couple of hours to prepare beforehand:


In these two hours, please
* book an introduction to the microscopes and understand how to use them
1. read the manuals for the microscopes and understand how to use them
* watch two videos and learn how to use microliter pipettes
2. watch two videos and learn how to use microliter pipettes
* get some basic vocabulary about lab- equipment  
3. get some basic vocabulary about lab- equipment  
* read about your organism, before you start growing it
4. read some recipes for the medium your organism needs
* research some recipes for the medium your organism needs
5. and read the basic papers about your organism, before you start growing it.

Maybe have a look at the links below and read a little about the equipment you might use. PH – value (which one does your organism want? What are the ingredients of your medium doing to the ph-value?)

Microscope

microliter pipettes

vocabulary

Medium

What kind of medium you want to prepare and what your organism needs you have to find out yourself.

See available /chemicals in the lab.

Current Organisms

If you want to work with one of these organisms, please present a short concept to GMU Staff during opening hours. If you want to work with another organism please contact us.

Animal Store in Weimar

This store has living Artemia, Daphnia, Nematocera (Chironomus & Chaoborus) and Enchytraeen ( Enchytraeus albidus). They sell them in small bags and it costs less than a coffee. Each Tuesday they will have a new delivery of these fresh organisms. It is possible for them to get other 'fish food' as well.
