Is a deck pad or roller better for staining a deck?

It depends a lot on the type of wood you are staining. The last one I stained was made of very smooth pine planking. This was ideal for the pad and my stain went on very smoothly and quickly. I've done others where the wood was not so smooth and in thse cases a roller worked better.

What is the purpose of staining a specimen?

The reason for staining specimens is to see certain organelles within a eukaryotic cell. These structures as well as the cell itself are normally translucent. The stain provides a contrast that will make the part one wants to see more visible. With prokaryotic cells, staining helps identify the type of bacteria. Staining also allows us to see parts of the cell that would normally be unidentifiable by the biologist.

How do you stain and seal solid wood doors that are three types of wood?

With tree types of wood you may have to stain each one separately. All three types of wood will have different porosity and maybe a different base color of their own which will make staining the same color a challenge. Perhaps an opaque stain would work better allowing you to see the grain of the wood but have a more uniform color.
