Synopsis

Laboratory studies constitute an integral and important aspect in the
study of science subjects. Botany in particular is a subject heavily oriented
on practical study. A proper comprehension of the subject matter
is possible only in the laboratory. Laboratory manuals play an important
role in helping the students to properly guide them in purpose of study,
scope of study and details required for a practical study.
Practical manual of algae aims to provide the students all they need
to know about the practical aspects such as morphological characters, internal
structure if any and systematic identification. A number of labelled
diagrams included in the text are meant to help the student's comprehension
of the subject.
This manual "Algae - A Practical Approach" deals with all the basic
requirements in the botany laboratory that a student should know. The
working of compound microscope, the most important tool in the laboratory
is explained in great detail in the introduction, along with various
procedures of study such as section cutting, staining, mounting, etc.,
working principles of electron microscopy and material preparation for
scanning and transmission electron microscopic studies. General characters

themselves with laboratory methods in botany.
