Via Giorgieri 10, I-34127 Trieste (TS)

Room A

Capacity : 30 seats

Room A is used with 28 ZEISS stereo microscopes for exercises of the three-year degree in Sciences and Technologies for the Environment and Nature (STAN) and for the master's degrees in Ecology and Sustainability of Global Changes (ESCG) and Sciences for Marine and Coastal Environment (SAMAC). It is also equipped with a stereo microscope of the teacher's station connected to the PC and consequently to the projector, so that the preparation is displayed on the screen and can be described in all its parts by the teacher. The classroom is currently used by the following teachers: Lucia Muggia, Silvia Battistella, Monia Renzi, Elisabetta Pizzul.

As part of the Systematic Botany Course with laboratory of the three-year degree in Sciences and Technologies for the Environment and Nature, exercises are carried out for the identification of plants (Prof. Lucia Muggia).

As part of the Systematic Zoology course with laboratory of the three-year degree in Sciences and Technologies for the Environment and Nature, exercises are carried out for the identification of Invertebrates starting from Protozoa up to Arthropods and for the observation of the various stages of embryonic development starting from segmentation to arrive at organogenesis in echinoderms and chordates. (prof. Silvia Battistella).

As part of the Ecotoxicology course of the Master's Degrees in Sciences for the Marine and Coastal Environment and in Ecology and Sustainability of Global Changes, ecotoxicological tests are performed on model organisms belonging to freshwater (Daphnia magna) and marine (Brachionus plicatilis) aquatic ecosystems. (Prof. Monia Renzi).

As part of the Conservation and Management of Internal Waters Course of the Master's Degree in Ecology and Sustainability of Global Changes, exercises are carried out for the systematic identification of the different taxa constituting the benthic macroinvertebrate communities and the application of Biotic Indices aimed at determining of the ecological state of freshwater environments. (prof. Elisabetta Pizzul).
