• A simple microscope has only one lens.

• Multiple lenses
• Image from objective lenses is magnified again by the ocular lens.
• Total magnification =objective lenses ocular lens
• Resolution is the ability to distinguish between two points.

• is the bending of light.
• Light may bend in air so much that it misses the small high-magnification lens.
• is used to keep light from bending.

• Dark objects are visible against a bright background.
• Light is concentrated by condenser and passes through specimen.
Brightfield Illumination
![Page 6: A simple microscope has only one lens. Chapter 3 - Microscopy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649f535503460f94c786ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Light objects are visible against a dark background.
• Condenser causes light to reflect off the specimen, which then enters the objective lens.
Darkfield Illumination

• Accentuates differences in the refraction of different regions of the specimen.
Phase-Contrast Microscopy

• Uses Ultra Violet light.
• Fluorescent substances absorb and emit
• Cells may be stained with fluorescent dyes (fluorochromes).
• Immunofluorescence

• Uses electrons instead of light.
• Resolution is much greater than light microscopes
• Two types: Transmission and Scanning
Electron Microscopy
![Page 11: A simple microscope has only one lens. Chapter 3 - Microscopy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649f535503460f94c786ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Magnifies tens of thousands of times
• Used to visualize internal structures
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
![Page 12: A simple microscope has only one lens. Chapter 3 - Microscopy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649f535503460f94c786ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Magnifies tens of thousands of times
• Used to scan the surface of a specimen
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Preparation of Specimens for the Compound Light Microscope
• A thin film of a solution of microbes on a slide is a
• A smear may be to attach the microbes to the slide and to kill the microbes.

• In a basic dye, the dye is a cation, and is
• In an acidic dye, the dye is an anion, and is
• Staining the background instead of the cell is called negative staining.

• Simple Staining: Use of a single basic dye to see morphology and arrangement.
• Differential Staining: Two or more dyes are used to distinguish between cell types or cell parts
• A mordant may be used to hold the stain, or coat the specimen to enlarge it.

Gram Staining
Color of Color of
Primary stain: Crystal violet Purple Purple
Mordant: Iodine Purple Purple
Decolorizing agent: Alcohol Purple Colorless
Counterstain: Safranin Purple Pink
The Gram stain classifies bacteria into gram-positive or gram-negative.

• Cells that retain the primary stain in the presence of acid-alcohol are called acid-fast.
• Non–acid-fast cells lose the primary stain when rinsed with acid-alcohol, and are usually counterstained to see them.
Acid-Fast Stain

• Negative staining is useful for capsules,
• Endospore staining distinguishes endo(spores) from vegetative cells
