If you have access to laser-disc players the two volumes of the "Cell
Biology" LaserVision discs, produced by the Institut fur den
Wissenchaftlichen Film, Gottingen, has some fine sequences of both
prokaryote and eukaryote material.  Being on PAL standard laser-discs
means that the material can be incorporated into interactive video.

Are you aware that there is a British Universities Film & Video
Council which promotes the production, study and use of film, TV and
related media for higher education and research?  They are at 55 Greek
St., London, W1V 5LR, tel.  071-734 3687.  I bought the Cell Biology
laser-discs from them.
