Weik All too few of the Lake Forest College Etudents are familiar with the facilities available o them in Johnson Science Center. The Biol- ogy Department is one of the three gems housed therein. The Biology Department in its usual quiet way has continued to improve its equipment which has allowed for its improved program. The most recent improvement in the facilities include: The purchase gift of the Scanning Electron Microscope from the Culpepper Foundation. This instrument makes possible the examina- tion of surface structures magnified as much as 40,000 diameters. The instrument joins the second Transmission Electron Microscope in our center, and was the gift of the Dr. School's School of Podiatry in Chicago. Additional an- cillary support equipment is provided by our arranging for the giftfloan of ultramicrotomes, vacuum evaporators, etc. from nearby Argonne National Laboratory. All of this equipment is available for class work and stu- dent independent studyfresearch. We have also replaced the phase contrast, oil immersion light microscopes in the micro- biology laboratory - requiring an outlay in ex- cess of 516,000 A new although un- glamorous, acquistion this year is an autoclave lsteam sterilizerl which is necessary for many of our course programs and research. We have had generous support from the administration these past few years to purchase the above items. The acquistion of a Laminar Flow Sterile Hood, and Carbon Dioxide Incubator allows for much more successful culturing of mam- malian cells and has allowed for a number of research and senior theses projects. The department is also well equipped for 'separation science' i.e. the separation of com- ponents of complex mixtures or solutions leg. body fluids, tissue extractsl, which may utilize: ultracentrifugation, various chromatography methods or electrophoretic techniques. These newer instruments join the others and our field study areas which are regularly used in our teaching program as well as for faculty and student research. We look forward to the additional space which will become available to us with the remodelling of Johnson Science Center Unit B. 21
