Lab 4: Cell Structures and the Gram Stain Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the student with the use of a compound microscope and the Gram Stain test. Students will review a brief video and slides to introduce the compound microscope. Students will also view a video about the Gram Stain procedure and then answer questions related to it. Hypothesis If I look at the slides I will see where the cell wall is and what lies inside it and in the Gram Stain if I watch the video I will

T-φ gram Determination of Unreported Meteorological Quantities from T-φ gram 1. Mixing Ratio (W):- It is the ratio of the mass of water vapour to the mass of dry air containing the vapours at a certain temperature. It is expressed in gm/kg. On T-φ gram from dew point temperature we follow isohygric doted green line and read the value at the base. (It can be calculated at all levels where dew point temperature is available). 2. Saturation Mixing Ratio (Ws) :- Mixing ratio at

Experiment 2: Microscopy & Simple Staining September 30‚ 2013 General microbiology laboratory The invention of the microscope has opened up a whole new dimension in science. By using microscopes scientists were able to discover the existence of microorganisms‚ study the structure of cells‚ and see the smallest parts of plants‚ animals‚ and fungi. Today‚ the microscope is still a commonly used tool to diagnose illness in hospitals and clinics all over the world (1)

INTRODUCTION The Gram Negative lab had two parts; the aim of the first part is to determine the concentration of gram negative bacteria in a water sample collected from a creek near Providence Road‚ Strickling. Gram negative bacteria have a cytoplasmic membrane‚ a thin peptidoglycan layer‚ and an additional outer membrane composed of phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides. Because gram negative bacteria have a relatively thin cell wall when compared to gram positive organisms‚ they are consequently

we first need to know what gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are and what it’s composed of. Gram-positive bacteria take up the class of bacteria that stain crystal violet in the method of bacterial differentiation. Where gram-negative bacteria are a class of bacteria that does not retain crystal violet. Instead they are counter-stained pink by Safranin‚ and because of this‚ identifying positive is possible. One of the many differences between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria is their

D4 H and E staining procedures Haematoxylin and eosin staining is a technique used by pathologists to add definition to nuclei and other parts of a cell in tissue samples under a microscope so that they can see it better when analysing the cells form and abnormalities. The H&E technique is the most commonly used in histology and the diagnoses of malignancies is based largely on the results of this procedure. The dyes will specifically stain elements of a cell or tissue because the dyes have a high

This project’s purpose is to find the effects of UV light on Staphylococcus epidermidis‚ furthermore recognized as staph infection. Staph infection is an infection usually acquired on the skin that can promote fever‚ nausea‚ pain‚ boils‚ and can lead to MRSA‚ which can lead to death. Because there is no cure for staph infection‚ this experiment called for research on clinical trials. A clinical trial was established that used blue light therapy to delay and kill the growth of staph infection. Coincidentally

Sampling of Gram-Positive Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Resting We thought it would be interesting to find out the different bacteria that grow on things we use on a daily basis and the level of antibiotic resistance that those bacteria have. We chose to swab the toilet seat in the MATC women’s bathroom and the ATM machine in the commons area on campus. We were certain the ATM would be dirtier than the toilet seat since the bathrooms get cleaned every day. The first step we took in testing

(2005) defined staining as the method of artificially producing color in microorganisms to allow for the visualization under the microscope. He further stated that stains are used not only to make the organisms visible but also to understand their structure and chemical nature. Gram staining is a technique commonly used in the laboratory. It is used to differentiate two large groups of bacteria based on their different cell wall constituents. It distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups
