Yes, flagella can be observed under a light microscope, but their visibility depends on the specific type and staining techniques used. Typically, flagella are quite thin and may not be easily seen without staining to enhance contrast. Specialized techniques, such as the use of silver staining or other methods, can improve visibility. However, for more detailed observations, electron microscopy is often preferred.

Why do you need a special staining procedure for flagella?

The mordant increases the affinity of cellular components for a dye. Therefore, the mordant allows the silver nitrate to attach strongly to the flagella, so that we can see them under a light microscope.

In wet mount preparations is it possible to see eukaryotic flagella procaryotic flagella why?

Yes, it is possible to see eukaryotic flagella in wet mount preparations due to their larger size and more complex structure. However, prokaryotic flagella are much smaller and more difficult to visualize using this technique. They may require specialized staining methods or electron microscopy for better visibility.

Purpose of flagellum?

The purpose of flagella (sing., flagellum) is motility. Flagella are long appendages which rotate by means of a "motor" located just under the cytoplasmic membrane. For more information (and image), please see the related links section below.


What structure do euglena have that is sensetive to light?

Euglena use an eyespot to detect light. An eyespot is a dark spot on their body. They cannot see the world around them but they can see light. The eyespot is located anywhere on their body but usually near their flagella. A flagella is a whip-like strand that euglena and other organisms use to move through the water. Euglena are producers and they make food through photosynthesis so they need the light.
