Yes because Methylene Blue is a symple stain which allows the staining of Cocci. The only thing that is done with the stain is to show the morphology of the bacteria, so one could tell the shape, size, and, arrangement.

Which is an example of a dye used in a simple stain?
Methylene blue
What does methylene blue do to the activity of the cell?
Methylene blue is used to stain animal cells, such as human cheek cells, to make their nuclei more observable.
What is the stain blue used to stain animal cells?
Methylene blue is used for many different staining purposes, but one of the main ones is staining RNA or DNA. In animal cells, it will stain the cytoplasm and the nucleus (the nucleus will be much darker).
What is the stain most useful in clinicians to decide for bacterial infection?
Methylene blue a basic stain is generally used to identify the external morphology of bacteria.The other stain which is used as differential stain and which can also differentiate the baceteia on the basis of their cell wall is gram stain i.e. Crystal voilet and is counter stained with Saffranine
What would the slide look like under the microscope if methylene blue is used instead of nigrosin?
The stain would stain the cells rather than the background
Which is an example of a dye used in a simple stain?
Methylene blue
Chemical sometimes used to make the specimen visible on a microscope?
Methylene blue is an example.
What kind of stain are used to stain plant and animal cells?
Methylene blue stain is used to stain plant and animal cells.
What does methylene blue do to the activity of the cell?
Methylene blue is used to stain animal cells, such as human cheek cells, to make their nuclei more observable.
Why safranine and not methylene blue is used to stain plant cells?
Both are used in staining but for different purposes .
Why cant methylene blue be used in place of nigrosin in negative staining?
Because negative staining requires the use of an acidic stain, which will not penetrate the cells because of the negative charge on the surface of the bacteria. As a result, the unstained cells can be easily identified against the colored background.
What is the standard stain for biological tissues?
Eosin and methylene blue are used for staining biolgical tissues.
Chemical used to make a specimen visible?
A general term for a chemical that makes a specimen visible is a stain. There are many types of stains available, depending upon the structure you want to visualize and the type of microscope you want to use, e.g. fluorescent stains like DAPI for fluorescence microscopy, or hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) staining for brightfield microscopy.Immersion oil

What is methylene blue use for when gram staining?
Methylene blue can be used to prepare slide for animal cells. For example, if you want to examine a piece of your cheek cell, you would take a piece of cotton wool and rub it on the inside of your cheek and the rub it on a microscope slide, the you add a little distilled water and then a drop of methylene blue. The final step you would take, is to cover the slide with a cover slip, then place it under the microscope.
What is secondary stain?
A secondary stain is Methylene blue. This type of stain is used in a acid fast staining. This type of staining test can determine medical conditions such as tuberculosis.
