Substantive content:

The laboratory are devoted to discussing the method of pollen analysis - a universal research tool used, among others, in palaeobotanical and palaeoclimatic research, but also in archeology, and beekeeping. The analysis is based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis (visual classification) of the composition of sporomorphs (pollen and/or spore) that are in honeys and also preserved in the fossils state in lakes and peat bogs.

The laboratory will cover learning the making of the maceration of the samples and their microscopic analysis. Pollen for classes will be come from the harvested plants during fieldwork and from honeys and lakes.
