Download program, Mac only!

virtual microscopes, 90 samples of multi-dimensional, high-resolution image datasets. The Virtual Microscope, available for free download, supports functionality from electron, light, and scanning probe microscopes, datasets for these instruments, training materials to learn more about microscopy, and other related tools

Critical thinking in molecular biology

Students are given protocols and then have to decide which gels fit AND what happened when they don't fit perfectly. Good critical thinking lab.

Mendelian genetics cross simulator developed at MIT by biology faculty, researched-trained scientists and technologists at MIT's OEIT. StarGenetics allows students to simulate mating experiments between organisms that are genetically different across a range of traits to analyze the nature of the traits in question. Its goal is to teach students about genetic experimental design and genetic concepts.
