The Dynamic Cell

A new concept in the teaching of cell biology, the cell is presented here as a series of animated pseudo-3D images, which appear as realistically as the platform level and current knowledge allow. A mouse click activates pop-up screens with animations, simulations, zoomed views, video clips or still pictures, accompanied by a short descriptive text. Students are thus taken on a visual tour, and are introduced to the various cellular structures and processes in an interactive and entertaining way. A valuable supplement to standard biology texts, this CD-ROM shows how all the various cell components fit together and gives a clearer picture of dynamic cellular processes.
