Not all capsules are demonstrable in stained smears. The visibility of a capsule depends on the staining technique used; some methods, like the India ink or mucicarmine stain, can highlight capsules effectively, while others may not. Additionally, certain bacterial species may produce capsules that are either too thin or not present under specific growth conditions, making them undetectable in smears. Therefore, the ability to visualize capsules varies based on both the organism and the staining method employed.

The iris diaphragm should be partially closed to allow for optimal contrast when observing bacterial smears at 1000X magnification. This setting helps improve visibility of the specimen by reducing glare and enhancing details in the sample.


What is stained with primary dye?

Bacterial smears that are undergoing some type of differential staining method are stained with a primary dye. Primary dye typically refers to a Crystal-voilet stain that is used in the gram staining procedure to color all cells purple. After a mordant (iodine-makes the dye complex less soluble), decolorizer, and a counterstain are added to the primary dye, a person can view the slide under a microscope in order to distinguish gram-positive bacteria from gram-negative bacteria. The cell wall of gram-negative bacteria will not retain the primary dye and be washed away with the decolorizer. Gram-neg. bacteria will then take on the counterstain providing contrast between the two types of bacteria when viewed under a microscope.

Can 20 grams of powder fill 20 capsules?

The amount of powder needed to fill capsules depends on the size of the capsules. Typically, a size 0 capsule can hold around 500-600 mg of powder. If each of the 20 capsules can hold around 500 mg of powder, then 20 grams (20,000 mg) of powder would not be able to fill all 20 capsules completely.
