WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (PRWEB)December 14, 2021
Dale Purcell, Ph.D., president of Chemical Microscopy and consultant with Improved Pharma, will be teaching a microscopy sample preparation course at Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas. The course will be a hybrid course including aspects of sample preparation as well as advanced polarized light microscopy (PLM) techniques. Special topics that will be covered include: polarized light interactions with matter, anisotropy, extinction, thickness versus 
optical path difference, sign of elongation, interference figures, pleochroism, Becke line, relative refractive indices, and analyses of glass, fibers, animal and human hair, and polymer films. The course is intended to be for laboratory instructors, who will then impart their knowledge to students at the university. Says Dr. Purcell, “As scientists, we are always looking for ways to share knowledge and advance the field. Microscopy is a field that requires extensive practice and training, and I’m pleased to be able to participate in this educational opportunity.” The course runs from Dec 13th through the 17th.
