collection of protists from funds of Zoological Institute Russian
Academy of Sciences (RAS), Institute of Cytology RAS and St. Petersburg
State University. This collection will submit both a total preparations
and living cultures of protists. The catalogues of an electronic
collection are placed on the site of Zoological Institute RAS Web server

forms are available there. The catalogues are complemented by the brief
descriptions of samples with the indication of their index in an
electronic collection.
The complete version of an electronic
collection "PROTISTS" will be distributed on CD carriers. The
collection will include the "Catalogue" (identical to one
placed in the Internet ) and a hypermedia collection, each frame of
which will keep the digital image of a preparation (video for cultures
and complex three-dimensional objects) and a hypertext document with
their description. The browser system of the collection will work on
both contextual and index search principles. It will also support SQL
inquiries. The building up process of the complete version of an
electronic collection "PROTISTS" will be completed by 2002.
