What the stain used of electron microscope?

A

heavy metals.

18
Q

What is the image can see when use dissecting microscope ?

A

is real not inverted. Specimen can be
viewed as a whole object whatever live or dead.

19
Q

What is dissecting microscope used?

A

used to view three dimensional objects and large
specimens such as insect.

20
Q

What like the image when see it by light microscope?

A

•The image created by this microscope is inverted and two
dimensional.

21
Q

what the specimen must be used in light microscope?

A

sectioned and stained.

22
Q

What is the most popular stain used to create contrast in the light microscope?

A

Hematoxylin and
Eosin (H&E stain).

23
Q

Hematoxylin stains the nucleus ….., while eosin

stains the cytoplasm …. .

A
  1. Blue

2. Pink

24
Q

Based on illumination source, microscopy can be divided into two main categories:

A
  1. light

2. Electron beams:

25
Q

light microscopy:

A
  1. Compound light microscope
  2. Phase contrast microscope
  3. Dissecting microscope
26
Q

What is the purpose of simple staining?

A

to elucidate the
morphology and arrangement of bacterial cells.

27
Q

What is the most commonly
used basic stains of simple stain?

A

are methylene blue, crystal violet, and carbol fuchsin.

28
Q

Basic stains with a positively charged chromogen are

preferred,why?

A

because bacterial nucleic acids and certain cell wall components
carry a negative charge that strongly attracts and binds to the cationic
chromogen.

29
Q

In simple staining, the bacterial smear is stained with a single reagent, what produces?

A

which produces a distinctive contrast between the organism and its background.

30
Q

What the difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria?

A

the chemical structure of the cell wall

31
Q

What is the Bacterial cell wall contains ?

A

negatively charged aggregates such as
the carboskyl-coo groups carboxyl

32
Q

Why used the stain
simple it is used for preliminary examination ?

A

to ensure the presence of bacteria in a specific sample.

33
Q

What are dyes used for preliminary examination to ensure the presence of Bacteria?

A

Methylene alkaline crystal violet, basic purple dye acid tinctures safranine, malachite green. acid fucsin and congo red.

34
Q

Where use Flaming Sterilization?

A

This is a standard technique for little metal or glass objects, but not for large ones.

35
Q

What damage is accompanied by process Gram stain?

A

This method has the most health and
environmental damages,
1.including bacterial contamination as a result of the
dyeing process in public places in the laboratory,
2. which helps spread
microbial contamination that may cause injury to workers in the laboratory.
3.Laboratory or its spread to sewage water when washing slides with running
water.
4. In addition, this technique results in chemical contamination resulting
from bacterial dyes that are thrown into sewage water,
5.in addition to
economic damage as a result of damage to places where the dyeing
process takes place with the continuous consumption of materials used in
dyeing.
