The movable laboratory tables are each Sj-j x 8 feet, and are provided with 

 drawers underneath. These are used as microtome tables, aquarium and supply 

 tables, etc., or are used as laboratory tables by the students when the wall tables 

 are all occupied. 



For general class use, we provide microscopes fitted with two oculars and 

 with two-thirds and one-sixth inch objectives. Two or three better instruments 

 are usually left out to be used as demonstration microscopes. For classes in 

 histology and for finer work in morphology, a better stand is used which is fitted

with special illuminating apparatus. The major students in biology have the 

 advantage of microscopes equipped with oil immersion lens and camera lucida. 



The histology laboratory has two water baths, an improved Minot rotary 

 microtome, a sliding microtome, and a hand microtome. The department pos- 

 sesses a long focus 5x7 camera. No mention need be made of the numerous 

 lesser pieces of apparatus, etc., which are taken for granted in any working 

 laboratory. 



Each student is provided with a compound microscope (during his laboratory 

 periods), a dissecting microscope, a case of dissecting instruments, reagent bot- 

 tles, and use of a locker. All apparatus is checked against the user when it is 

 exclusively for his use.
