Best Answer

flagella stain

Purpose: To determine the presence/absence and location of flagella on various microorganisms

Principle: Because bacterial flagella are very thin and fragile a special stain (flagella stain) is prepared that contains a mordant. This mordant allows piling of the stain on the flagella, increasing the thickness until they become visible. Various arrangements of flagella are seen on different cells.
