Cell City is an innovative
multimedia CD-ROM that helps users understand the operation of a cell by
revealing its similarities to a city. Concepts such as energy generation and
supply, manufacturing, communications, waste disposal, and recycling are all
clarified using this technique. The program includes animations, videos,
microscopic photography, and interactive puzzles.
Contains a large collection of photographs, including photomicrographs taken
with electron microscopes and optical microscopes. Students can browse
through these unique images, or extract them for use in their own
assignments or presentations. In addition to photomicrographs, there are
some remarkable images of everyday objects viewed at very high
magnification. A separate unit allows investigation of optical microscopes,
and both scanning and electron microscopes. This section examines the
performance of the different types of microscope used to look at cells, the
basis of their operation, and typical results.
