Does anyone out there have experience of or recommendations for Video material suitable for using in teaching to 1st-year Biology students to impress on them the wonders of microbes, especially prokaryotes? All suggestions/comments gratefully received. Many thanks, Douglas Kell.

If you have access to laser-disc players the two volumes of the "Cell Biology" LaserVision discs, produced by the Institut fur den Wissenchaftlichen Film, Gottingen, has some fine sequences of both prokaryote and eukaryote material. Being on PAL standard laser-discs means that the material can be incorporated into interactive video. Are you aware that there is a British Universities Film & Video Council which promotes the production, study and use of film, TV and related media for higher education and research? They are at 55 Greek St., London, W1V 5LR, tel. 071-734 3687. I bought the Cell Biology laser-discs from them. Richard Bingham

forFor small groups of students (10 - 15), we use a Wild Leitz microscope with a video camera Sony DXC 101 P and a video monitor PVM 1442 QM 35cm. This material is for exhibiytion . Each student can work also with a classical microscope and see by himself the microbial world.
