CELLebration

Description: Sponsored by the American Society for Cell Biology, this videofilm is a collection of footage of sequences filmed by active researchers in cell biology.   A wide variety of microscopic and imaging techniques (including DIC, fluorescence, and time-lapse) have been used by researchers to capture these extraordinary events.   This videofilm will be appropriate for introductory biology courses to demonstrate how alive cells are, as well as for upper-level students who are interested in the details of cellular phenomena.   Table of Contents: I.
