Bacteria are difficult to see when they are not stained because they are almost colorless.
1. Staining a slide enables a high contrast between the bacteria and the background.
2. It defines the bacterial morphology (size, shape and arrangement).
3. It enables us to observe structures like flagella, capsules and endospores.

What is staining rack?
Staining rack is used to hold many glass slides at a time. By putting slides on a staining rack, you can pour dye simultaneously and it will help to reduce extra dye or stain.
What is the name of the paper used to dry slides after gram staining?
Gram staining is used to identify whether a bacterium is gram positive or gram negative. Slides can be dried using filter paper or tissues. The technique is based on the reaction of stain that happens with the membrane of bacteria.

What is the gram stain for the west nile virus?
There is no Gram stain for the rabies virus - it does not pick up either the stain or the counter-stain and has no official Gram stain status like bacteria do. When scientists are looking at slides of brains to see if an animal was infected with rabies, they use a special immunofluorescent stain made of antibodies against the rabies virus linked to either a vividly colored pigment or a fluorescent pigment. If the rabies virus is present, the antibodies in the stain adhere to the viral particles and then the pigment becomes fixed to the tissue as well, allowing the pathologist to "see" the virus (actually just that the virus is present and approximately where it is at - the virus is too small to see with a standard light microscope).

Why do need to dehydrate the slides before the mounting?
To remove excess stain before mounting
What is the function of staining rack?
it helps in staining many slides at a time, as when we put many slides on a rack we can pour dye simoultaneously on all the slides and it will also help in reducing loss of extra dye or stain.
When gram stain performed incubated for a longer period of time examination of the stain B cereus slides revealed a great deal of color variability ranging from an intense blue to shades of pink?
Longer incubation of gram-stained slides causes some gram positive bacteria to become gram negative.

What is advantage of using stain?
Using stains on slides help show some details that may be unclear otherwise, especially in cells.
How do you perform the Diff quick technique?
Diff-Quick is a type of stain used to quickly evaluate slides in clinical practice. It consists of three containers of stain (although the first one is actually the fixer, not a stain). A slide is dipped in each one for about 10 seconds and then rinsed.
