Through processes know as wet mounts and simple stains‚ observing living microorganisms through a compound microscope can generate a clearer understanding of their appearances and movements. Microorganisms are living things that for the most part cannot be seen through the naked eye. They live on and among humans‚ as well as plants‚ animals‚ and all that is a part of the Earth. Harmless as most seem to be to humans‚ microorganisms are an important relevance of study for human interest in varied perplexities

Cervical smears should be taken in a proper way by an experienced person so as to avoid an inadequate material.44 Because of the phases that precede the lesion in the natural progress of invasive cervical cancer‚ and because they can be easily discovered and treated‚ the disease is well suited to screening programs. It is now recommended that all patients with abnormal cytology should undergo further investigations.4 Annual Pap smear screening has been favoured over less frequent screening in the

LABORATORY EXERCISE 8-A: Preparation of Bacterial Smear and Simple Staining I. INTRODUCTION Bacterial smears are prepared for the purpose of viewing microorganisms under the microscope. Visualization of microorganisms in the living state is very difficult‚ not just because they are minute‚ but because they are transparent and almost colorless when suspended in an aqueous medium. A bacterial smear is a dried preparation of bacterial cells on a glass slide. Smears may be made from a dry culture (from a slant

silicon (Si) reacts with either water vapor (H20) or oxygen (O2) to form silicon dioxide‚SiO2 on the silicon surface. The reaction is represented by following equations: Dry oxidation: Si + O2 → SiO2 Wet oxidation: Si + 2H2O → SiO2 + 2H2 The oxidation process can be implemented through diffusion of either water or an oxygen species through the oxide already formed up which then reacts with the silicon at the Si-SiO2 interface. At high temperature

The humble washing machines have helped us save our time and energy to a large extent. Today‚ washing machines are the most sought mechanical devices in the modern society among all the consumer goods. Earlier‚ people had to soak their clothes in soap water for hours together‚ then scrub the stubborn dirt‚ rinse and then dry the clothes. Drying also took days together. However‚ with the introduction of washing machines‚ washing the clothes became easier. The machines would dry the clothes at least

plate is much more concentrated than sample from broth. We expected to observe the rod-shape for these bacteria and see that this is actually rod-shaped. Some parts of prepared smears were difficult to observe due to high concentration of smear. It should be washed away during smear preparation. In addition‚ while performing smear preparation such as high or low heat fixation process or not well washing off excess dye may cause this. Moreover‚ it is important to be careful when taking sample from agar
