surrounding. To see them in an unstained state and also to observe their motility‚ a hanging-drop or a wet mount technique is used. A wet mount is the technique of placing small amounts of specimen in a droplet of water for viewing with the compound microscope. Motility is an inheritable phenotype and is critical for identification and classification of bacteria. The technique is done by applying petroleum jelly to all sides of a cover glass. Add a water droplet and specimen using an aseptic loop onto

the microscope. One of the first to use a microscope to observe microorganisms was Robert Hooke‚ the English biologist who observed algae and fungi in the 1660s. In the 1670s‚ “Anton van Leeuwenhoek‚ a Dutch merchant‚ constructed a number of simple microscopes and observed details of numerous forms of protozoa‚ fungi‚ and bacteria” (Introduction to Microscopes‚ n.d.). During the 1700s‚ microscopes were used to further explore on the microbial world‚ and by the late 1800s‚ the light microscope had
