Use the bright field light microscope to view microbes under oil immersion, make accurate observations and appropriate interpretations and store the microscope according to lab procedures. Properly prepare a bacterial smear for accurate staining and describe the chemical basis for simple staining and negative staining. Background/Theory Differential staining distinguishes organisms based on their interactions with multiple stains. In other words, two organisms may appear to be different colors. Differential staining techniques commonly used in clinical settings include Gram staining, acid-fast staining, endospore staining, flagella staining, and capsule staining. This link to the OpenStax Microbiology text provides more detail on these differential staining techniques. (OpenStax CNX, 2018) The Gram stain is a differential staining procedure that involves multiple steps. It was developed by Danish microbiologist Hans Christian Gram in 1884 as an effective method to distinguish between bacteria containing the two most common types of cell walls. (OpenStax CNX, 2018) One type consists of an inner plasma membrane and a thick outer layer of peptidoglycan. The other type consists of a double phospholipid Figure 1 Simplified structures of Gram negative cells (left) and Gram positive bilayer with a thin layer of cells (right) peptidoglycan between the two. The Gram Staining technique remains one of the most frequently used staining techniques. The steps of the Gram stain procedure are listed below and illustrated in Figure. (OpenStax CNX, 2018) 1.

Section of FAA-killed and celloidm embedded compression wood sample collected July 6, 1966; X 320. ABSTRACT An investigation was conducted to examine the suitability of ten staining reactions for studying lignification in balsam fir, Abies balsamea (L.) Mill. Two experiments were carried out on material collected on two different dates. In each experiment slides of fresh, FAA-killed and FAA-killed celloldin-embedded material of normal and compression wood were stained and evaluated. No significant difference in staining reactions was found between material collected on different dates. In each experiment, the embedded material showed somewhat superior results compared with the fresh and FAA-killed material with at least half of the stains. No marked difference was observed between normal and compression wood. This study emphasized the need for considsring each of the ten staining reactions on an individual basis, since each has particular ad­ vantages and disadvantages as emphasized throughout the study.

  • How to Construct and Use a Simple Device to Prevent the Formation of Precipitates When Using Sudan Black B for Histology
    Acta Botanica Brasilica 29(4): 489-498. 2015. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062015abb0093 How to construct and use a simple device to prevent the formation of precipitates when using Sudan Black B for histology João Marcelo Santos de Oliveira1 Received: April 17, 2015. Accepted: July 1, 2015 ABSTRACT The present work aims to demonstrate the stages of fabrication and use of a simple device to avoid the formation or fixa- tion of precipitates from Sudan Black B solution on tissues. The device consists of four coverslip fragments attached to a histology slide, which serve as points of support for the histological slide under analysis. To work properly, the histology slide with the sections should be placed with the sections facing downwards the device. A small space between the device and the histology slide is thereby created by the height of the coverslip fragments. When Sudan Black B is applied, the solution is maintained within the edges of the device and evaporation is minimized by the small space, thereby reducing the consequent formation of precipitates. Furthermore, by placing the sections facing downward the device, any sporadically formed precipitates are prevented from settling on and fixing to the sectioned tissues or organs. By avoiding the formation of precipitates, plant cells, tissues and organs can be better observed, diagnosed and photomicrographically recorded.

  • DIFFERENTIAL STAINING, Part I
    DIFFERENTIAL STAINING, Part I Differential staining is a procedure that takes advantage of differences in the physical and chemical properties of different groups of bacteria. It allows us to differentiate between different kinds of bacterial cells or different parts of a bacterial cell. I. GRAM STAIN The most commonly used differential stain is the Gram stain, first described in 1884 by Christian Gram, a Danish physician. The Gram reaction divides bacteria into two groups, those which are Gram-positive and those which are Gram-negative. Those organisms which retain the primary stain (crystal violet) are stained purple and are designated Gram-positive; those which lose the crystal violet and are subsequently stained by a safranin counterstain appear red and are designated Gram-negative. The conventional Gram-stain technique is described in the Procedure part of this handout; however, it is important to recognize early on that two aspects of the procedure are crucial: 1. The crystal violet treatment must precede iodine treatment. Iodine acts as a mordant, i.e., it increases the affinity of the cells for the crystal violet. Iodine alone has no bacterial staining capabilities. 2. Decolorization must be short and precise. Too long an exposure to 95% alcohol will decolorize Gram-positive as well as Gram-negative cells. The Gram stain has been used as a taxonomic tool for many years, aiding in the classification and identification of bacterial cells. However, it is also useful in a broader sense, as there appears to be a close correlation between the Gram reaction and many other morphological and physiological characteristics of bacterial cells.

  • STAINING TECHNIQUES — Staining Is an Auxiliary Technique Used in Microscopy to Enhance Contrast in the Microscopic Image
    STAINING TECHNIQUES Staining is an auxiliary technique used in microscopy to enhance contrast in the microscopic image. Stains or dyes are used in biology and medicine to highlight structures in biological tissues for viewing with microscope. Cell staining is a technique that can be used to better visualize cells and cell components under a microscope. Using different stains, it is possible to stain preferentially certain cell components, such as a nucleus or a cell wall, or the entire cell. Most stains can be used on fixed, or non-living cells, while only some can be used on living cells; some stains can be used on either living or non-living cells. In biochemistry, staining involves adding a class specific (DNA, lipids, proteins or carbohydrates) dye to a substrate to qualify or quantify the presence of a specific compound. Staining and fluorescence tagging can serve similar purposes Purposes of Staining The most basic reason that cells are stained is to enhance visualization of the cell or certain cellular components under a microscope. Cells may also be stained to highlight metabolic processes or to differentiate between live and dead cells in a sample. Cells may also be enumerated by staining cells to determine biomass in an environment of interest. Stains may be used to define and examine bulk tissues (e.g. muscle fibers or connective tissues), cell populations (different blood cells) or organelles within individual cells. Biological staining is also used to mark cells in flow cytometry, flag proteins or nucleic acids on gel electrophoresis Staining is not limited to biological materials, it can also be used to study the morphology (form) of other materials e.g.

Sudan IV is commonly used to stain fats, oils, suberin, and cut­ in. Materials stained in this dye are usually mounted temporarily in glycerine and are seldom kept as permanent slides. This may be due to the fact that balsam, clarite or similar mounting media, cannot be used to make permanent slides of preparations stained in Sudan IV. The dye is immediately removed by the xylene or toulene solvent of these media, leaving the preparations colorless.
