Term
Definition
culture   a medium that contains living microbes  
🗑
pure culture   a culture that contains a single species  
🗑
aseptic   free from contamination caused by harmful bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms; surgically sterile or sterilized.  
🗑
broths   used to grow microbes when fresh cultures or large numbers of cells are required; are also used in microbial identification  
🗑
agar slants   used to grow stock cultures that can be refrigerated after incubation and maintained for several weeks  
🗑
plated media   typically used for obtaining isolation of species, differential testing, and quantifying bacterial densities (all require aseptic inoculation)  
🗑
resolution   clarity of an image (through a light microscope); ______ improves as the resolving power is made smaller  
🗑
limit of resolution (aka resolving power)   is an actual measurement of how far apart two points must be for the microscope to view them as being separate; the best achieved by a light microscope is 0.2 um  
🗑
condenser lens   concentrates the light and makes illumination of the specimen more uniform  
🗑
total magnification (formula question)   magnification by the objective lens x magnification by the ocular lens  
🗑
numerical aperture   is the measure of a lens's ability to "capture" light coming from the specimen and use it to make the image; is marked on the lens (0.10, 0.25, 0.65, 1.25)  
🗑
dark-field microscopy   a special condenser is used so only the light reflected off the specimen enters the objective; the appearance is of a brightly lit specimen against a dark background (often w/ better resolution then bright-field microscopy)  
🗑
phase contrast microscopy   uses optical components to exploit differences in the refractive indices of water & cytoplasmic components to produce contrast; contrast is provided by differences in light intensity; specimen appears various levels of "dark" against bright background  
🗑
fluorescence microscopy   uses a fluorescent dye that emits fluoresces when illuminated w/ ultra-violet radiation  
🗑
Objective lense   scanning = x4, low power = x10, high dry = 40x, oil immersion = 100x  
🗑


   

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.
