Observing Microorganisms Through a Microscope

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Simple microscope   has only one lens  
🗑
Compound Microscope   has 2 or more lenses  
🗑
Compound Light Microscope   used to observe living organisms, resolution up to .2 micrometers, magnifies up to 2000x, requires stains  
🗑
Darkfield microscope   able to see things you cannot see in CLM because of the dark background  
🗑
Phase contrast microscope   similar to CLM, shows 3D image and internal structures  
🗑
Fluorescence Microscopy   uses higher wavelengths of light than can be absorbed  
🗑
Confocal   stain specimen, hit with blue light and reconstruct with a computer to get 3D view  
🗑
Transmission Electron Microscopy   magnify 10,000x resolution 20nm, look inside cells  
🗑
Scanning Electron Microscopy   10 nm resolution, magnification 10,000, allows view of cell surface  
🗑
Staining   coloring organisms with the application of dye  
🗑
Smear   applying organisms to a slide  
🗑
Fixed   act of attaching the specimen to the slide  
🗑
need for staining   live/unstained cells have little contrast with surrounding medium, making them difficult to see, researchers use staining to make discoveries about cell behavior by observing specimens  
🗑
Basic dyes   chromaphore is a cation (+)  
🗑
acidic dye   chromaphore is an anion (-)  
🗑
Negative stain   staining only the background  
🗑
simple stains   only use one dye
