Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to: understand and explain the physical and physico-chemical basis of the measuring laboratory methods most frequently used in clinical biochemistry, immunology and hematology, namely the principles of spectrometry, electrophoresis, sedimetation analysis, microscopy, and some others, e.g. weighing, temperature measurement, measurement of the basic properties of liquids. The student should be able to understand in an adequate extent to the main methods of detection of ionizing radiation, and to the rules of safe use of the ionzinig radiation sources.
Syllabus
  • 1. Measurement of physico-chemical properties of solids and liquids: weighing, measurement of density, viscosity and surface tension.
  • 2. Measurement of temperature - thermocouple, thermistor, IR imaging.
  • 3. Ultrasound - measurement of cavitation effects.
  • 4. Use of light microscope.
  • 5. Spectrophotometry, refractometry, polarimetry.
  • 6. Centrifugation.
  • 7. Properties of electric circuits - basic measurement.
  • 8. Scintillation detector and GM counter.
