Welcome to the Whitman College Biology Department's Virtual Pig Dissection (VPD)!

This site is designed as a supplement to laboratory dissections exploring introductory mammalian anatomy and physiology — it is basic and many details have been omitted for clarity. We hope that it is suitable for AP Biology students or for students of introductory anatomy and physiology at the college level.

We have revised this site to improve the learning experience and accessibility. Please see the " About" page for more details and contact information. We hope you find it useful and enjoy using it!

PhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. These tests include student interviews and observation of simulation use in classrooms. The simulations are written in HTML5 (with some legacy simulations in Java or Flash), and can be run online or downloaded to your computer. All simulations are open source (see our source code). Multiple sponsors support the PhET project, enabling these resources to be free to all students and teachers.

The Molecular Workbench (MW) software:

1. Is a modeling tool for designing and conducting computational experiments across science.
2. Provides an authoring system for instructional designers to create
and publish model and simulation-based curriculum materials.
3. Delivers an interactive learning environment that supports
science inquiry.
4. Is free and open-source.

Introduction to the Microscope
OVERVIEW
Follow along in this online exercise, with guided instruction covering the basics of light microscopy, comparable to
what you would learn in a seated lab. You will identify components of the microscope, understand the functions of
those components, learn how to focus in on a specimen, and review proper care and maintenance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Identify the parts of the light microscope and describe the function of each.
• List the steps in focusing a light microscope.
• Describe how to properly handle the light microscope, focus slides, and clean the microscope when finished
