Interfacing in Biology
Probeware Uses in Biology
Here is a list of probes and sensors, followed by a list of ideas
for each. Although many of the ideas are not explained or developed,
they might stimulate you to design experiments that will be useful
to your students. Many of these labs are available in Biology
With Computers. Click on the probe to go to the list of ideas.
And here is the list of ideas:
