What else can I help you with?
Why are thick or dense smears less likely to provide a good smear preparation?
because if too much smear the sample will look to indistinct
Why a smear preparation is preferred compare to a wet mount?
bcoz a heat-fix smear have a good contrast than the wet mount
Should you always use sterilized water for smear preparation?
Yes, when you are performing smear preparation, you should always use sterilized water. This will ensure that nothing contaminates your slide.
What is the effect of a very thin preparation in fecal smear?
no sign from the teacher.
Why are thick or dense smears less likey to provide a good smear preparation for microscopic evaluation?
Thick or dense smears contain too many cells that can overlap, making it difficult to see individual cells clearly under the microscope. This can lead to inaccurate interpretation of the sample. A thinner smear allows for better visualization of individual cells and structures.
What happens to Smudge cells in an albumin smear?
Cell fragility causes smudge cells to appear on peripheral smears. Addition of albumin prior to slide preparation essentially coats the fragile cells, thus keeping them intact on smear preparation.
What is another name for a tzanck preparation?
Tzanck preparation is also called a Tzanck smear, herpes stain for inclusion bodies, or inclusion bodies stain.
What is a good sentence with smear?
smear means that when you smooth something it means the same thing.
What are the characteristics of good bacterial smear?
no thing
Why use dye in preparation of cheek smear specimen?
Dye is used in the preparation of cheek smear specimens to provide contrast and make it easier to visualize and identify cells under the microscope. Dye helps highlight the cellular structures of the cheek cells, making it easier for scientists to analyze and study them.
What are the precautions during preparation of bacterial smear and heat -fixing process?
During the preparation of a bacterial smear, it is crucial to use sterile techniques to avoid contamination. Use a sterile inoculating loop to transfer a small amount of culture onto a clean slide, and ensure the smear is thin and evenly spread. When heat-fixing, gently pass the slide through a flame to adhere the bacteria to the slide without burning them, as excessive heat can distort cellular structures. Always wear gloves and goggles to protect yourself from potential biohazards.
Is presence of grease or dirt on a glass slide going to result in poor smear preparation?
The smear will not adhere well if there is grease on the slide.
