Ken,
That doesn't sound right at all. Why can't the school attach a digital camera to the microscope, capture an image to computer and print it out on a swell form machine. This is a similar procedure I use to make telescopic images accessible. This would allow you to examine the visual images from the microscope by touch...the same images that the other students are examining by sight.

Subject: [Nfb-science] anatomy and physiology course
I was enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology 1 (lab and lecture) at Westchester
Community College (WCC) and was forced to withdraw from the course because the
biology dept. claimed they could not make the necessary accommodations. The
lab practical exam requires the observation of tissues under the microscope
which I cannot do because of my visual impairment. For the quizzes I was read a
description of the tissue and identified it that way. They will not do this for
the lab practical exam, however. Is there anyone that knows of accommodations
that have been made for this class?
I am already in the fifth week of the semester which puts me one third of the
way through the class so I would appreciated any help as soon as possible.
Ken
