Overview of Project

    • What is the theory/ concept behind the topic?

Our "Mission"


    • What does the group need to accomplish at the end of the workshop

Our "Mission" Part 2(i)


6.1 Histochemical Staining(Questions from Project Manual)
  • 1) What are the colours of the stained tissue?
  • 2) What is the pattern of colour distribution in the stained tissue?
  • 3) Can you identify which are the nuclei of the cells? What colour are they?
  • 4) Can you identify the cytoplasm of the cells? What colour are they?
  • 5) What are the relative sizes and shapes of the cells in the tissue?
  • 6) How many different types of cells do you think there are in the tissue?
  • 7) Are there any other observations you have identified? If so, describe them.


Our "Mission" Part 2(ii)

6.2 Immunohistochemical Staining(Questions from Project Manual)

  • What are the colours in the tissue?
  • What is the pattern of colour distribution in the stained tissue?
  • Are the colours and pattern of colour distribution similar to that in the first slide?
  • The purpose was to determine the presence and location/distribution of a protein called
  • vimentin. Which colour do you think represents vimentin? Why?
  • Describe the location/distribution of vimentin in the tissue.
  • What does the other colour(s) represent?
  • Are there any other observations you have identified? If so, describe them.

Our "Mission" Part 2(iii)

6.3 Fluorescence Staining(Questions from Project Manual)
  • Can you see the tissue using the fluorescence microscope? Does the tissue appear
  • similar to the first and second slide?
  • Describe what you observe. How many colours appear when using the fluorescence
  • microscope and what are the colours?
  • What do you think the colours represent? Why?
  • Can you determine what is/are the pattern of location/distribution of the colours in the
  • tissue? If no, why not?
  • Are there any other observations you have identified? If so, describe them.

Our Accomplishment

    • What is the end product/ findings?
    • A description/ explanation of your product/ findings

Our Gains...

    • As a group,
      • discuss how the project has helped to deepen your understanding/ broaden your awareness on selected subject discipline(s)
      • describe how the new learning is/ can be connected to what you learnt/ are going to learn
