Gram staining highlights different bacteria types through the use of special dyes. It aids in the diagnosis of a specific organism and tells the difference between gram negative and gram positive bacteria. Simple staining is unable to highlight the exact organism.

What is an advantage of a simple stain over a wet mount?
You can see clearer images in the simple stain technique rather than the wet mount technique...
Carbolfuchsin can be used as a simple stain and as a negative stain as a simple stain the pH is?

Why is the gram stain technique more valuable than the simple stain technique in the diagnostic laboratory Under what circumstances might the simple stain be preferable to the gram stain technique?
There are two types of stains, the simple stain and the differential stain. A simple stain colors all objects the same while a differential stain is used to spot differences in microorganisms. A gram stain is a differential stain, which is used to tell the difference in gram negative and gram positive bacteria. A simple stain would stain all the organisms the same and this difference would not be noted. You would be able to determine their shape, whether it is a cocci or bacillus (rod), but not the type. I'm not sure why the simple stain would be preferable unless you just wanted a quick answer as to the shape of the bacteria. In some cases, a wet prep can be made of a presumptive gram positive cocci to tell the difference between bacteria or yeast. Otherwise, I would say that the gram stain is the only way to go.

Why is the size more accurate in a negative stain than a simple stain?
since you do not heat fix the slide when you use a negative stain the cells do not shrink or become distorted

What is the advantage of the gram stain over the simple stain?
gram staining differentiates between gram negative and gram positive bacteria by showing different colors. it shows blue or purple like color for gram positive bacteria and red color for gram negative bacteria. where as simple stain gives the same color to all the types of bacteria. hence it is difficult to differentiate between them.

Why is a stain called a stain?
It's simple, because it's a stain.
How is the mechanical advantage of a simple machine calculated?
mechanical advantage= output force over input force times 100
What is the value of simple stain?
A simple stain like iodine can make cell parts show up that would otherwise be nearly invisible since they are colorless.A simple stain like iodine will reveal a cell's morphology.
What is the advantage of the gram stain over simple stains such as methylene blue?
Gram staining highlights different bacteria types through the use of special dyes. It aids in the diagnosis of a specific organism and tells the difference between gram negative and gram positive bacteria. Simple staining is unable to highlight the exact organism.
What are the advantages of the simple stain technique over the negative stain technique?
Negative staining has a dark contrasted background and the bacteria is white. Simple staining has a white background and bacteria is the color depended on your stain color.Negative staining when prepared is NOT heat fixed but simple staining when prepared is heat fixed. Heat fixed means when preparing slide with bacteria on it, it is passed over some type of flame, like a Bunsen burner flame, three times or four times.
