This two-hour workshop, designed for beginner to intermediate levels, includes general microscope maintenance, Kohler illumination, identification of wine yeast and bacteria, yeast viability staining, and discussion on PCR and culture plating. If possible, we strongly recommend bringing your own microscope to the class. There will only be one microscope available for attendees to share.
These hands-on classes will be limited to 12 people in order for each participant to receive individual attention to further their knowledge of microbiological techniques, microscope maintenance, and microbe identification.
