What dye is used in a vital stain?
vital dye in microbiology
Assume you stain Bacillus by applying malachite green with heat and then counterstaining with safranin Through the microscope the green structures are?
The malachite green penetrates the endospores, the counterstain of safranin will stain the vegetative cells. Endospores - greenish-blue Vegetative Cells - Red/Pink
Can malachite green be used in the gram stain?
it is used to dye materials like silk,leather and paper.And also to:As mineral specimens, an important ore of copper, as an ornamental stone, a pigment and for jewelry.Natural malachite mineral Specimens
Is maneval's stain an acid stain?
it is a basic dye that will stain the cells. That makes it a positive stain.
What type of dye is used to stain the specimen when the acid-fast stain and the gram stain are used?
Both processes use 2 stains. The Gram staining process uses crystal violet as the primary stain and safranin as the secondary stain. Acid-fast staining uses carbol fuchsin as the primary and methylene blue as the secondary.
Are endospores acid fast?
Yes, endospores are acid-fast because their thick walls are resistant to most stains and dyes, including the acid-fast stain used in microbiology to detect mycobacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This resistance allows endospores to retain the stain even after decolorization with acid-alcohol.

What dye is used to stain the bands of DNA?
it depends on the animal
Which is an example of a dye used in a simple stain?
Methylene blue
What dye is used to stain cheek epithelial cells in lab?
methane blue
Why heat the slide when performing spore stain?
Endospores are impermeable to most stains so heat is usually applied to drive the stain into the endospore.
