- Contains over 66 million items
- Coverage years = 1900 to present
Hints for BIO 3140
- In addition to keywords about your research topic, you can add one of these keywords:
- Histology
- Immunocytochemistry
- Look at the figures in the article. Are there histology, microscopy, or electron microscopy images? Discussing these images is part of your assignment. If an article doesn't have these images, don't pick it for your presentation!
