At the Mendrisio Campus, the Freshwater ecology group operates a microscopy laboratory equipped with various types of stereoscopes and compound microscopes, all fitted with cameras capable of capturing high-resolution digital images. A comprehensive collection of specialised texts and identification keys is available for the taxonomic determination of aquatic organisms. The laboratory also hosts instruments for processing chemical and biological samples, conducting molecular analyses, and measuring algal pigments and toxins.
