Q

How does a transmission electron microscope work?

A

An electron source at the top of the microscope emits electrons that travel through a vacuum in the column of the microscope. Electromagnetic lenses are used to focus the electrons into a very thin beam and this is then directed through the specimen of interest.

Images appear flat

Q

What color is gram-negative? What does it indicate?

A

Pink; the cell wall structure is thick of the cell, so it can’t be penetrated by the dye.
