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

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

of meaning to the study of organisms. In preparing for two basic observations‚ a wet mount and a simple stain‚ living microorganisms can be seen clearer through a simple stain and by using a drop of water‚ movements of microorganisms are varied. A smear is when a spreading of bacteria is made on a slide for viewing. A simple stain is when a method of observation of a living organism is smeared on a slide with one stain during a procedure. A wet mount is where a research method of an organism or organisms

Many reasons contributed to the large number of deaths. The plague was a turning point in Europe socially‚ economically and culturally. There were several ways in which the plague affected Europe. One of the reasons the plague affected Europe was socially. This was the by-product of a single flea bite. Erasmus of Rotterdam states‚ “The plague

Background Information: Yeast is a fungal microorganism that is used to manufacture mainly bread and beer. It reproduces rapidly. Fermentation is the process by which yeast takes in sugar and releases alcohol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation
