Abstract

Computer graphics use by biology undergraduate students is now a mainstay in the microanatomy course taught at Trinity University. By using desktop computer graphics, these students are able to take ownership of histological images in ways not possible just five years ago. Digital frame grabs of microscope slides serve as the basis of student produced graphics. These graphics allow the undergraduate students to dramatically improve their learning opportunities and to visualize biological microstructures. Analytical study, dimensional reconstructions, presentation graphics for laboratory practical exams, multimedia presented term projects and "digital legacies" are now a part of these students' cognitive armamentarium. A description of the activities of the class reliant on computer graphics follows.
