All it does is make the cells an easy to see color rather than clear or pale. The parts of the cells are darkened by the stain so you can see them better.

What is the importance of staining specimen for observation under the microscope?
Most cells contain structures that are transparent and without color, which makes visualization difficult, even with the aid of a microscope. Cell staining is used to gain more information about cells and tissues, and allows for the structures within cells to be seen in great detail
Why use iodine in plant cells staining?
People use iodine on plant cells because it reacts with the starch in the cell causing it to change colour and allowing you to see it through a microscope
What microscope is used to discover cells?
Light microscope were used to discover cells
Disadvantages of staining cells?
There are many disadvantages to stain and not staining cells before viewing them. One disadvantage of gram staining is that the cells cannot be alive while being stained, so viewing live stained cells is impossible.
What is the effect of microscope on people life?
Without the microscope we wouldn't know as much about cells as we do now with microscopes and we probably would be more prone to sickness considering that sickness has to do with cells fighting against virus' and the cure is hidden with the factors of the cell.
What effect does staining have on plant cells?
It will make them stand out more under a microscope
What advantage can be gained from staining cells?
they are easier to see when you use a microscope

By the shape and appearance changes.
Congo Red Cream and Distilled Water?
The combination of Congo red cream and distilled water is used for staining cells for viewing under the microscope. Staining make the individual cells much easier to see.
What you see through the microscope?
Plant cells, animal cells and bacteria can be visualized through the light microscope. Although some of these samples may require staining in order for the observer to see them, the magnification offered by the light microscope is sufficient to look at the morphological structures of the types of cells mentioned above
What is the function of staining jar?
There are several uses for a staining jar. In microscopy, it is used for staining tissues and cells for slides. After being stained with dyes or stains, the specimens can also be placed in the jar to look for certain aspects.

What do they use to see cells?
Iodine is commonly used to see cells clearer under a microscope. Any chemical with staining properties can serve the same purpose.
Why are stained cells used to show a phase of the cell cycle?
Cells tend to be rather transparent under the microscope, and staining them makes it much easier to see the internal structures.
Why use iodine in plant cells staining?
People use iodine on plant cells because it reacts with the starch in the cell causing it to change colour and allowing you to see it through a microscope
Can you see cells?
Sperm cells are way too small to see with the naked eye. You need a microscope to see the individual cells. Now you can see semen as a whole without a microscope, and semen is usually cloudy white in appearance.
