Question
Answer
4 General Principles of Microscopy   show
🗑
show Smaller wavelengths of radiation result in enhanced microscopy  
🗑
Magnification   show
🗑
show *Is the ability to distinguish objects that are close together *Smaller wavelengths = increased resolution *Resolution distance = 0.61 x wavelength/numerical aperture  
🗑
Contrast   show
🗑
Resolution   show
🗑
show Contain a single magnifying lens – similar to magnifying glass & Leeuwenhoek’s microscopes  
🗑
Bright-Field Microscopes - Compound   show
🗑
Dark-Field Microscopes   show
🗑
show Used to examine living organisms or specimens that would be damaged/altered by attaching them to slides or staining 2 types: Phase-contrast microscope (good 4 cilia & flagella) Diff interference contrast microscope (creates a 3D shadowed appearance)  
🗑
Fluorescence Microscopes   show
🗑
show Use fluorescent dyes Use UV lasers to illuminate fluorescent chemicals in a single plane Resolution is increased because emitted light passes through pinhole aperture Computer constructs 3-D image from individual digitized images  
🗑
Electron Microscopy   show
🗑
Probe Microscopy   show
🗑
show Dyes used stains are usually salts tht are composed of a + charged cation & a – charged anion Acidic dyes stain alkaline structures (neg stains) Basic dyes stain acidic structures (simple stains) Most cells/ bacteria are neg charged  
🗑
show colored portion of the dye  
🗑
show Use more than one dye Used to distinguish between diff cells, chemicals, structures Common differ stains: Gram Acid-fast Endospore Histological Bacillus & Clostridium produce endospores *Highly resistant to desiccation, heat, chemicals  
🗑
show Simple stains used to identify specific microbial structures Special stains include: * Negative stains: are negatively charged and repelled by a negatively charged bacterium *Flagellar stains *Fluorescent stains  
🗑
Taxonomy   show
🗑
Carolus Linnaeus   show
🗑
show Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Prokaryotae  
🗑
show Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea  
🗑
show Physical characteristics Biochemical tests Serological tests (Blood) Phage typing (Virus) Analysis of nucleic acids  
🗑
MicroScan   show
🗑
show Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacterial cells Phages are specific for the hosts they infect  
🗑
show Nucleic acid sequence can be used to classify and identify microbes Prokaryotic taxonomy now includes the G + C content of an organism's DNA  
🗑
Dichotomous keys   show
🗑
show Nanometer  
🗑
show 1000 times smaller  
🗑
Resolution is best described as the __________. a. ability to view something that is small. b. ability to magnify a specimen c. ability to distinguish between 2 adjacent objects d. difference between 2 waves of electromagnetic radiation   show
🗑
Curved glass lenses __________ light. a. refract b. bend c. magnify d. both a and b   show
🗑
Which of the following factors is important in making an image appear larger? a. thickness of the lens b. curvature of the lens c. speed of the light passing through the lens d. all of the above   show
🗑
Which of the following is different between light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy? a. magnification b. resolution c. wavelengths d. all of the above   show
🗑
show b  
🗑
Which of the following microscopes combines the greatest magnification with the best resolution? a. confocal microscope b. phase-contrast microscope c. dark-field microscope d. bright-field microscope   show
🗑
Negative stains such as eosin are also called __________. a. capsule stains b. endospore stains c. simple stains d. acid-fast stains   show
🗑
show specific epithet  
🗑
different objective   show
🗑
show 600x  
🗑
show increases, increases, more  
🗑
show contrast  
🗑
show A series of steps that must be taken to prove the cause of any infectious disease  
🗑
The type of fixation developed by Koch for bacteria is   show
🗑
Catonic chromophore said such as methylene blue ionically bond to   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
