Cameroon-Excursion 2012: Microscopes received

Part of the Cameroon-Excursion 2012 shall be a teaching course on Medical Entomology & Parasitology at the University of Ngaoundéré, where the 10 students from Tübingen shall participate together with 40 master-students from Ngaoundéré. During one week, teaching sessions shall take place in the morning and excursions to field in the afternoon. A major component shall be the microscopic examination and identification of vectors and parasites by microscopy and molecular techniques. We now have received a loan of 7 Leitz microscopes from the Tübingen Institute of Tropical Medicine to use them for this excursion.
