The Light Microscope: Window on the Microcosm shows techniques for using a student microscope to achieve spectacular images. 2008
This program describes the discovery of viruses and their structure, how viruses are studied, how they infect their hosts and how they replicate. 2004
This program shows the kinds of cells and emphasizes the fact that all cells have a common organization and how all cells carry out similar biochemical processes. 2006
Here students become acquainted with the properties of the plasma membrane, how it governs the kinds of molecules that go in and out of cells, and how cells feed by engulfing (phagocytosis) and drink in fluids by pinocytosis.
Illustrations show how genetic instructions carried on DNA are transcribed into RNA, leading to the production of specific enzymes that control the thousands of biochemical processes going on in living cells.
This program illustrates the mechanisms of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
