Chemical used to make a specimen visible?
A general term for a chemical that makes a specimen visible is a stain. There are many types of stains available, depending upon the structure you want to visualize and the type of microscope you want to use, e.g. fluorescent stains like DAPI for fluorescence microscopy, or hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) staining for brightfield microscopy.Immersion oil
Methylene blue can be prepared as a basic stain or an acidic stain. How would the pH affect the staining of bacteria?
# The pH will determine if the bacteria will have a particular charge. If the chromophore is a positive ion like the methylene blue in the equation shown in the reading, the stain is considered a basic stain; if it is a negative ion, it is an acidic stain. Most bacteria are stained when a basic stain permeates the cell wall and adheres by weak ionic bonds to the negative charges of the bacterial cell.

Why is methylene blue used as an indicator of cell respiration?
because methylene blue turns colourless when it is reduced by hydrogen. during respiration hydrogen is produced and instead of reducing NAD, it reduces methylene blue and turns methylene blue colourless. if methylene blue goes from blue to colourless then this shows that the cell is respiring as it is producing a suffiecient amount of hydrogen to decolourise methylene blue
