    (used copies may be available.  try Half.com or Amazon.com)

required equipment:
    large scissors (5-5.5")
    small, straight scissors
    fine tipped forceps
    large forceps
    metal scalpel handle (avoid plastic handles)
    blunt probe (Huber probe)
    protective gloves (an entire box/student is recommended)
    lab coat (optional, but recommended)

Many of the dissections will be done in pairs, so you could potentially get by if you want to purchase one set of dissecting tools/pair.  However, I'd recommend each owning one.   The dissection tools will be required by lab 06 we will have kits available for purchase.  You may also purchase a box of gloves from Medical Mart of the Biological Sciences stockroom.
