experiment is to learn how to use a microscope while viewing various types of bacteria cultures. Prepared slides are used to view bacterial cultures under a microscope that would normally be invisible to the naked eye. Bacterial shapes and arrangements or morphology are observed in prepared slides and fresh yogurt culture. Purpose: The experiment is meant to determine the shapes of bacteria under different magnifications when using a microscope; 10X‚ 40X‚ and 100X. A microscope must be used to see and study

Techniques - Lab #1 BIO 349 Lab Report #1 Microscopy and Staining Abstract The primary focus of this lab was on microscopy and simple stains. Microscopy that was used were magnification‚ slide preparation‚ and staining. Methylene blue‚ a simple staining component‚ was used to stain the slide in order to see the different microbes and determine their cellular shape. Introduction The purpose of this lab was to become familiar with the light microscope and how to accurately use it to view specimens

multiphoton microscopy in 250-500 words. Both confocal and two-photon (multi-photon) laser imaging can generate 3D images by capturing a stack of optical sections at different focal planes. In confocal microscopy‚ a detector pinhole which rejects fluorescence from off-focus locations is used; while‚ two- photon microscopy is capable of giving 3D contrast and resolution (comparable to confocal microscopy) without the necessity for the detector pinhole used in the confocal microscope. Two-photon

introduction of the microscope as a tool for the biologist brought about a complete reappraisal of the micro- composition of biological tissues‚ organisms and cells. In the infancy of its application to organic materials‚ it was the implement of anatomists and histologists in particular‚ where previously unimagined structures in cells were revealed. More recent developments in biological specimen preparation have come from biochemists and physicists who have used the microscope to examine cells and

Electron Microscopy Electron microscopy is used to examine specimens which require greater detail than can be seen when using the light microscope. In comparison to light microscopes electron microscopes provide a clearer picture‚ greater magnification and greater resolution. There are two types of electron microscope; the scanning electron microscope and the transmission electron microscope. Electron microscopes use electromagnetic and electrostatic lenses and some are able to magnify the specimen

The microscope has been one of the greatest inventions in the history of science and has had the most impact on the course of science. Ever since the first microscope was invented in 1590‚ they have improved our knowledge in basic biology and biomedical research‚ as well as many other things‚ all of which are important. The smallest object a human can see with the naked eye is 0.2 mm‚ for example‚ algae cells. The light microscope‚ however‚ allows us to see things almost 1000 times smaller that what

OPTICAL MICROSCOPE Introduction The optical microscope has been a standard tool in life science as well as material science for more than one and a half centuries now. The optical microscope widely use in the field of cell biology‚ microbiology‚ biotechnology‚ pharmacology‚ forensic and medical diagnosis especially when dealing with tissue fragments. It is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples. In other words‚ Optical microscope is a
