|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dark-field microscopy | light coming directly through specimen is blocked out, so that the light reflected off the bacteria is seen. Makes structures appear against a black background and seem bigger than they really are.
🗑
|

| Differential stain | differentiates between 2 common types of bacteria
🗑
|
||||
| Electron microscopy | viruses are stained with a heavy metal and electrons are shined on them--electrons are more powerful than photons--can resolve down to 0.002 microns, to show even the tiniest of virus particles.
🗑
|
||||
| Medium | a nutritious extract or mixture of materials that will support the growth of microbes.
🗑
|
||||
| scanning electron microscopy | scattered electrons are detected and the object's surface is reconstructed by computer technology.--good for visualizing surface structures--resolves to about 0.02 microns
🗑
|
||||
| Staining | dye added to the organisms to improve contrast and our ability to recognize the microbes--stained bacteria have a more apparent shape.
🗑
|
||||
| Transmission electron microscopy | the electrons pass through the specimen. Heavy metals pile up around the virus and scatter electrons. This leaves dark areas that reflect the viral outline on the veiwing screen.
