We use stains for microscopy so we can see the microorganisms better, because most microorganisms are transparent, we cant see that well just by microscopes, so we use stains which stain the microorganism which helps you find them and look at them easier .Stain are colors which enable us to differentiate internal structures clearly .

Introduction in basic techniques in microscopy?

Introduction to basic techniques in microscopy involves light microscopy, laser scanning, types of dyes, the cell, electron microscopy, differential interface microscopy, histological stains and histochemical stains.


Why are metal stains used for electron microscope?

Metal stains are used in electron microscopy to enhance contrast and visibility of cellular structures. Metals such as osmium or lead bind strongly to cell components, allowing for better visualization under the electron beam. This helps researchers to identify and study finer details within cells and tissues.

What does FESEM mean in electron microscopy?

FESEM stands for Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. It is a high-resolution imaging technique in electron microscopy that uses a field emission electron source to produce a fine electron beam for imaging the surface of a specimen at nanoscale resolution.

What type of microscopy does not use light?

Electron microscopy; Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). The vacuum required for electron microscopy to work correctly precludes the observation of living organisms. Biological samples must be dried then coated with a conductive metal.


Does light microscopy offer better magnification than electron microscopy?

No


When is Negative stain used?

Negative stain is used in electron microscopy to visualize the outer surface of specimens, as the stain does not penetrate the sample. It is particularly useful for observing the morphology and arrangement of bacterial cells and flagella.

What distortions or artifacts might be seen in electron microscopy when viewing a dried nonliving specimen?

Smaller characteristics of specimens might be seen using electron microscopy to view a dried nonliving specimen. The electron microscope is used to view specimens in great detail.


How are noroviruses diagnosed?

Norovirus from fecal samples can be visualized using electron microscopy. With immune electron microscopy (IEM), antibodies against norovirus are collected from blood serum and used to trap and visualize the virus from fecal samples.


What is the role of immune electron microscopy in viral diseases?

can be used to detect and identify viral particles that have too low concentration to be detected using conventional electron microscopy. binding of antibodies to the viral particles makes them easier to detect.
