When cells or anyother thing you are looking at under a microscope is stained, it is to help you see it better. They are dyed dark colors like blue or magenta so it is easy to see. Without the dyes we would'nt really see it that well.
Without staining it is very hard to see anything clearly, if you play with the light intensity you can still get nice shots, but this is much harder to do then with staining.
Next to this different stains can be used to color the specific parts of the cell that are of interest.
to identify the morphology of different type of cells, bacteria,etc.
To increase the contrast and visibility of the specimen.
It adds contrast in order to see them better.
Iodine, its yellow and stains cells very well for viewing under a microscope.
Microscope
Cell theory is not directly dependent on Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's invention of the microscope, although his microscope did improve the observation of cells. The cell theory was established based on the work of multiple scientists, including Robert Hooke, Matthias Schleiden, and Theodor Schwann. It states that all living organisms are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of life, and cells arise from pre-existing cells.
I believe it was Robert Hooke who observed cork cells under a microscope and noticed how the cells looked like "jail cells" and that's when he coined that term.
Iodine is used to stain the cell. It makes each component of the cell more visible, especially the nucleus.
Cells are mostly as transparent as water. Their structures are difficult to distinguish without using stains to selectively enhance those structures and membranes.
microscope
yes, but only with certain stains because some stains are toxic to live organisms.
nuclei in animal cells
Iodine, its yellow and stains cells very well for viewing under a microscope.
Microscope
because centrioles have a dagree and can use a electron microscope to see the nucleaus inside
As the cells are transparent, the components cannot be seen clearly through a microscope. We stain the cell so that we can see the components of the cell clearly through a microscope.
Under a microscope's bright light, without stains the various cells and organelles within the cells are a washed-out pale mess. The stains give contrast and definition to the cell wall and some of the organelles within the cell so the pathologist can see what is going on.
Most cells contain structures that are transparent and without color, which makes visualization difficult, even with the aid of a microscope. Cell staining is used to gain more information about cells and tissues, and allows for the structures within cells to be seen in great detail
