* In 1997 and 1998, each student was assigned a pigment for which there was
a good amount of information available in books on reserve in the library. Microchemical
tests were performed. Optical properties were studied using both student-grade
microscopes borrowed from the biology department and a research-grade Olympus
BH2 polarizing light microscope (PLM) with a rotating stage that was purchased
with money from the ILI grant. Students could make slides of anything they saw
through the microscope. The slides could be scanned and incorporated into their
projects. Student reports on 15-20 pigments are available.
