Multi-Head Teaching Microscope with Computer Projection Capabilities: A compound microscope that is able to display real time images on the projector screen is needed to help teach students in ABAS courses. This tool will have applications in both animal and plant and soil science curricula. Many classes will benefit by using this equipment including introductory plant and animal science, soils, plant propagation, food science courses, reproductive physiology courses, and more. Enrollment in these particular courses exceed 300 undergraduate students per year. Due to the interdisciplinary utility of the microscope technology, virtually all ABAS students would be exposed to, and benefit from this technology at some point during their schooling. Diurnal Growth Chamber: This is needed technology to update and improve ABAS courses. This computerized system allows for many different germination and growth laboratory exercises. With this technology, concepts relating to plant responses to environment will be taught. This will be used in the required Plant Science course (ABAS 1610), as well as ABAS 4620, 4630, 4670, 4660, 4300, 3660, and 3850. Annual enrollment for these courses using this would be approximately 400 undergraduate students.
