The New LIEDER Program of Interactive CD-ROM
We offer a new range of CD-ROMs for interactive learning and teaching in school and colleges. All pictures and
illustrations are taken from our own stocks to provide superior quality. Newly developed programs guarantee easy
installation and unproblematic running. Every CD comprises the following topics:
• Comprises a great variety of beautiful diagrams, colour photos, tables, anatomical pictures, electron and X-ray pho-
tographs, impressive life cycles, human photographs, landscape photographs, scenes, test data and results, necessary
for teaching the subjects.
• Comprises all necessary photomicrographs of microscopic slides, which can be observed by five different steps of magnification by using
a “MicroScope”. The slides can be moved under this microscope and can be observed in all its parts.
• Comprises all necessary drawings matching the pictures, with explanations of all the parts.
• The same number of comprehensive explanatory texts to help understand the pictures.
• A special test program to check the students’ knowledge in several levels of difficulty. A variable number of random selected pictures have to be
identified. After a successful run the students receive notes about their progress in learning. By repeating the test any improvement will be revealed
by the program.
• A comprehensive index, a search function and a user friendly browser for all pictures and texts on every CD-ROM.
• All pictures can be shown in full-screen size, just by pressing the ENTER button.
• Special accompanying material, which enables evaluation of what has been seen, and creative learning is an important part of the program.
Drawings, sketch and worksheets are supplied for many of the pictures on the CD. They are stored in full printing quality (high resolution of
300 to 600 dpi). After printing the drawings may be supplemented or coloured. In addition, the worksheets – which maybe be copied – can
be used as accompanying material for class tests.
• The novel demo program features the functionality to start a self-running demo of the program in sequential or random order. A sophisticated
presentation mode allows the user to prepare a collection of chosen pictures for an impressive full-screen presentation.
• The complete set of images on this CD can be displayed in thumbnail view for a comprehensive overview of all available material.
• A comprehensive index. The entire set of material, that is, pictures, supplemental texts and slides, and drawings, are accessible via the main
program’s dropdown-menu Tools – “Search picture…” or “Select picture”.
• When starting the CD, English or German can be selected. The program surface is adapted to the well-known “WINDOWS™-LOOK”.
• All pictures and texts can be printed by the user.
• The CD works with all Windows versions (WINDOWS™ 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP and VISTA). The resolution is 960x640 or higher for superior quality.
Full colour representation with over 1 Million colours (depending on the screen). Optionally the CD runs also on PowerMac G4 and higher with
WINDOWS™ emulation.
• The size of the desktop and the windows for texts and pictures can be scaled and adapted to the requirements of the user.
Histology of Man and Mammals
The body of every animal consists of an array of many organs, each of which must perform certain
functions within the organism as a whole. The closer study of these organs calls for the preparation of
very thin slices of tissue. These slices, when seen through the microscope, show that organs are made
of great numbers of wildly differing cells and tissues which, thanks to special staining techniques, can
be told apart by the different colours they adopt. Cells, epithelial tissue, support tissue, teeth, muscle
tissue, nerve tissue, digestive organs, glands, respiratory organs, blood and blood vessels, lymphatic
organs, urinary and excretory organs, sexual organs, spermatogenesis, oogenesis, endocrine glands,
scalp and hair, sense organs, central nervous system.

Division (Mitosis and Meiosis)
A fundamental feature of all living creatures is that their organism grows. The actual growth of multi-
cellular organisms results from the increase in the number of cells. Cell divisions make it possible for
a single fertilized egg cell to give rise to millions and billions of cells. In the process, chromatin, as
carrier of hereditary information, is duplicated, then halved in a highly accurate manner and then
transferred to both daughter cells. The complex process of meiosis, the reduction division. Through
meiosis not only is the number of chromosomes halved, but also the utterly important rearrange-
ment of chromosome sets and the exchange of segments (”crossing over“ process) both take place.
The process of cell division is explained through classical examples of known animals and plants. Fine
structure of the cell and its nucleus. The sequence of a normal cell division (mitosis) in chronological
steps. Resting nucleus, contraction, division and separation of the daughter chromosomes, recombi-
nation of hereditary traits and reduction in the number of chromosomes through meiosis, primordial
sex cells, entering of a sperm in the egg cell (ovum), prophase, first and second meiosis, dismissal of
the sperm’s flagellum (tail), mixing of male and female chromosome sets, translation of chromosomes
to egg nucleus, mature egg cell with male and female pronuclei, fertilization, cleavage, embryo for-
mation, schematic representation of all phases. The slides, coloured by means of a special staining
technique, depict the individual cell structures in contrasting colours.
