Microbiology Chap 3 Flashcards
Microscope terms? Resolution, magnification, refractive index amd use of immersion oil
Res=the ability of the lenses to distingiish two points
Total magnification= objective lens c ocular lens
Ref index= light bending ability of medium
Keep light from bending too much
What does compound lught, darfield/brightfield, phase contrast, differential interference contrast, floresence and confocal have on common?
All lighy Microscopies that uses visible light
Brightfield vs darkfield and what anout phase contrast microscopy
Dark objects visible against bright back ground capitalize on different light refraction
Light objects against dark background
Only light reflected from organism enters lens
Uses collection of lights, do not need fix specimen in pahse = light out phase = dark
Differential interference contrast microscopy
Accentuates diffraction through specimen and prism of colors with two light beams used
Flourescence microscopy
Uses uv light,glouresbxe dyes used for immunoflourescences
Confocal microscopy
Florochrome dyes
Short wavelength to excite
Produce 3d image
Computers
Two photon microscopy
Fluorochrome fyes, two lobg photon wavelength
Used to see cells attached to a surface 1mm deep
Scanning acoustic micracopy
Measures sound waves resolution 1um
Electron micropies?between sam and tem
Tem= transmission electron mic
Ultra thin specimens stained with haevy metal salts
Sam=scanning electron mic
Electron gun scan surface observe secondary electrons emitted fron specimen
Scanned probe microscopy differences? Stm and afm
Scanning tunneling microscopy? Uses metal probe
Atomoic force microscopy= metal and diamond probe and 3d
define smear and stain, and explain components of stains and negative staining
Smear=thinfilm of solution microbes in a slide
Staining=coloring the microbe with a dye
Components? Basic dye has cation and acid dyes have anion
Negative stain is stainibg the background
How simple stainworks
Single dye & mordant to hold stai or cpat specimen
Differences between the two differential stains
Gram stain classify gram positive(purple) amd negative(red) bacteria
Promary stain:CV decolorizer:alchol acetone counterstain:safrinin
P
Special stains?
Capsule, : negative stainex
endsospore : primary malachtie green amd heat , decolor: water, cpunter stain safrinin
and flagella : mordant and carbofucshinsimple stain
Acid fast stains? Mecahins and resultp
Promary stain : carbofuchsin
Decollrizer: acid alchol
Counter stain: methlynr blue
Acid fast(red) not acid fast (blue)
