Microscope Lenses Lab Report
Abstract: The objective of the 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 microbes since they cannot be seen with the naked eye. The different combination of microscope lenses allow for smaller organisms to be magnified and seen and studied in greater detail.
Procedure: To

    Specific bacterial morphologies noted in exercise one come from the spiral bacteria sample. The shape appears to be corkscrew in nature and vary in length throughout the sample slide. The length varies but the width seems to be uniform. The color most likely arises from the stain used to allow for better visualization of the organism. The Bacillus sample has no discernable morphology and appears as round ended, and cylindrical shaped in nature. The organisms have a black tint which is probably related to the type of statin used for visualization of the organism.…

    The second step is to select the appropriate medium for the specified microbe. In this experiment we will use a liquid broth medium for both cultures. The first is MRS culture medium, which contains polysorbate, acetate, magnesium and manganese to promote growth for lactobacilli. The second is nutrient medium, which is the standard growth medium for most microbes. It contains heat stable digestive products of proteins called peptones and beef broth to promote bacterial growth.…

    Ocular Reticles Lab Report

    Using the same steps as finding the size of the Paramecium specimen with the ocular reticle and the stage micrometer. Any object can be found by first adjusting the microscope for Kohler illumination and using the 10x objective lens to observe the object. Use the course focus knob and adjust until the object is clear. Afterwards switch the nosepiece into a higher objective and adjust the current magnification with the fine focus knob until the object is in an acceptable field of view. Using the ocular reticle, determine the size of the object. Then divide the reticle units by the total magnification to determine the size of any object. For example, if the object was observed in a total magnification of 400 and the measurements were 20 reticle units by 10 reticle units. To determine the size in millimeters would be to divide the 20 by 400 and 10 by 400 to get a size of 0.05 mm by 0.025 mm.…

    While viewing under 4x magnification, you can see the presence of cocci and bacillus bacteria strains. After increasing the magnification to 10x, you can view these shapes more clearly, but it is not until 40x magnification that you can see the cooci exist in pairs and strands, in other words, diplococci and streptococci are present in the yogurt slide.…

    Unknown Bacteria Essay

    Many different species of bacteria look similar under the microscope and also have the same staining results (ex. Gram stain). To be able to differentiate between the different species, one can look at the metabolic differences (fermentation), as well as the environmental condition differences (temperature, pH, oxygen requirements). Being able to manipulate these conditions in a controlled environment can help to correctly identify the exact bacteria. Different media can be used to culture and identify bacteria.…
