What happens if you add too much water to a smear slide?
The slide can get damaged.
What determines where the slide number is displayed in the footer?
Each theme determines where the slide number is displayed in the footer.
If a capped syringe is heated in which direction will the syringe plunger move?
The fluid or gas inside the syringe will decrease in temperature, therefore it will decrease in volume. This will cause the syringe piston to slide inside the syringe. This is because of the ideal gas law: PV=nRT. If the pressure (P), the number of moles (n), and the ideal gas constant (R) remains constant, than the change in volume must be proportional to the change in temperature.
The particles in liquids what past each other?
They slide past each other
What is the process used for preparing microscope slide?
Briefly, 1) You must to have clean and dust-free all the material, 2) Put the flat slide in a surface, 3) Use the medicine dropper to suck up drops of liquid sample, 4) Place one drop directly in the center of the flat slide, 5) Gently lower your cover slip onto the flat slide and do not press down on the cover slip once it is in place, 6) Place the flat slide with the cover slip in the microscope and watch.
What problems arise what the slide is heated in a flame?
Prolonged heating of the slide can cause the slide to shatter.
Why is it essential that smears be air-dried before heating the slide and why cannot they be gently heated over a flame to speed up the drying process?
Any heat much over room temperature at that point would denature the cells due to the water content on the slide. Even if it was gentle, the heat from the flame would be enough to sizzle them like tiny fried eggs. :)
What happen the microscope slide on the flame?
It will crack or break.
What is Passing a slide sample through a flame is called?
heat fixing
Do not pass the slide over the flame when the smear is not yet completely dry why?
You will cook it!
Does Heat fixing sterilize slide?
I guess so, and that's why you put out the flame after that.
Shows the number and title of the slide you are about to display?
Slide indicator (crossword problems?)
In Success Story the narrator is shocked when Richards has problems?
a slide derule
In Success Story the narrator is shocked when Richards has problems with?
a slide rule
What would you expect from a gram stain done on a slide that was heated too hot during the heat-fixed smear?
A Gram stain refers to a staining technique for the identification of bacteria. A Gram stain done on a slide that was heated too hot during the heat-fixed smear will destroy the cell wall of the bacteria.
How can you prevent a smear from accidentally washing-off a Slide?
You can prevent a smear from accidentally washing-off a slide by using heat to fix the cells to the slide and it can be achieved by following this procedure:Allow the smears to air dry first.Fix the cells to the slide by gently heating.Hold the slide on the frosted end with your clothespin found in your cabinet.Do this by quickly passing the underside of the slide over the flame of a Bunsen burner.Each time, touch the slide to the back of your hand - when it becomes uncomfortable, it is done.
What is smear preparation?
A smear preparation is a techniques that is used as a precursor is many different staining techniques.The smear prep usually calls for the sample bacterium to be placed on a microscope slide (use aseptic technique) with one drop of DI water. Then the slide is allowed to air dry for a few minutes then the slide is passed through a Bunsen burner flame. Use a cloths pin so that you do not burn you hands Only pass the glass microscope slide through the flame not you cloths pin if it is wood it will catch fire. Pass the slide through 3-4 times then you are ready to continue on with your desired staining technique
