This biology site offers a first glance on educative material that is used in the bio-sciences studies of the Radboud University Nijmegen, i.e. images and a number of lessons on the microscopic structure of cells and tissues. Texts and illustrations presented here may be employed for reports, practical trainings and general teaching in biology at high school, colleges and universities (pending copyright and disclaimer)

 |
An Image gallery with about 500 microscopy images/films showing cells and tissues. These views are coupled to a SEARCH system; they are available in medium and large size and are partly forseen of labels |
 |
Under Lessons/Download an overview is provided of the presented teaching material: webseries, powerpoint presentations, illustrations and photographs, PDFs and Word documents |

Meet in Landscape & Nature Nijmegen the beautiful and varied natural resources in the surroundings of the city, places of choice to walk and bike. Discover the geology and vegetation of Heumensoord, the Ooijpolder, the glacial till, the Haterts and Overasselts Fens and the Bruuk. (With maps of the landscape, roads and waters and the geology. Partly translated into English).

In the webseries Cell cycle: Mitosis & Meiosis these two types of cell division are described step by step, as well as their relative differences and their importance for the formation of new individual. |
 |
In the pages on Pollen we review which essential role pollen grains play in the reproduction of plants and we explain how they can cause hay fever. These multimedia webpages pay attention to ecological, cytological as well as biomedical aspects around pollen.
|
 |
In the webseries entitled the Microworld of leaves we observe these amazing parts of the plant under a microscope and discover how they arise, grow, capture light, produce oxygen and survive under the most diverse life conditions. |

The power of a FESEM, a scanning electron microscope, is visualized by applications from biology, chemistry and physics. The site also hosts a FESEM simulator that can be interactively operated. Properties and advantages of a number of microscopical techniques are demonstrated and a Laser-microscopy stereo-viewer is presented.
|
 |
Microscopical slides and wholemount preparations of early embryological stages in model species (sea urchin, frog, chicken and mouse) have been photographed and forseen of descriptions. This material is part of the course on Developmental Physiology in Animals. (So far only in Dutch, sorry).

Huygens 4D presents a 3D-viewer (panorama viewer), e-cards, pictures, movies and background information regarding the Huygens building and the history of the Nijmegen faculty of Science. An informative film about the Biology studyin Nijmegen is shown (2007, 9:07, in Dutch)

The EXO-steunpunt provides assistance for local secondary school students who want to do an own experimental research project. The study guides give extensive information on all bachelor and master programs of the science faculty, the open days and professional perspectives. Specific information about the studies Biology, Medical Biology en Environmental sciences, as well as about
bio-medical and molecular life science is presented (in Dutch) under Bio-sciences and Molecular Life sciences. To virtual presentation of other studies of the science faculty.
