Biological Imaging Lab
The Biological Imaging Lab is a state-of-the-art microscopy facility located on the ground floor of the Gottwald Center for the Sciences. Home to three advanced microscopes and modern preparation tools, this facility allows student and faculty researchers to capture images of the highest quality. Students in particular are encouraged to work in the lab to gain first-hand experience with microscopy techniques that are not often available at the undergraduate level.
Discipline-Specific Library Research Guide
Subject librarians at the University of Richmond Libraries maintain discipline-specific research guides for every academic course of study offered through the School of Arts & Sciences. Students in the Department of Biology can contact the subject librarian directly, view top recommended resources and conduct discipline-specific searches of databases and Web sites. In addition, subject librarians frequently highlight new titles related to the academic field.
