The stain would stain the cells rather than the background
The name of the microscope slide with the dip in it is the hanging drop slide. The dip is a special concave, depression, in the center of the slide.
Basic stains have a strong attraction for acidic cell components, such as nucleic acids and proteins, and can help visualize cell structures under a microscope by staining them a different color. Examples of basic stains include methylene blue and crystal violet.
A Henrici slide is a specialized microscope slide used in microbiology to examine and identify fungi. It consists of a thin layer of agar on a glass slide, which allows fungi to be cultured and observed under the microscope. It is named after the Swiss mycologist, Hanns Hofmann Henrici.
AnswerThe previous answers made no sense so I just erased them. It's called the cover slip.
Adding methylene blue to a slide will stain animal cells and make the nuclei more visible.
Because some things that you might look at under a microscope are transparent and hard to see. Adding Methylene Blue to the slide would dye the stuff blue.....i think.
Methylene Blue, in this situation, is being used as a microscopy stain. Microscopy stains are used to allow for particular characteristics of cells to be observed in greater detail or to make them easier to see.
A coverslip is a thin glass placed on the microscope slide.
You clip your slide onto the stage of a microscope.
The name of the microscope slide with the dip in it is the hanging drop slide. The dip is a special concave, depression, in the center of the slide.
The microscope stage is the platform on which a slide is placed for viewing.
The standard width of a microscope slide is approximately 25-26 millimeters.
The stage is the part of the microscope where you place the slide for viewing. You can adjust the position of the slide on the stage to examine different areas under the microscope.
I have done a basic test by putting toothpast on a new microscope slide. Then I rub it around on the slide for 2 minutes which is the minimal time you should brush your teeth. I then examine the slide under a microscope. You could rub a stain on the glass such as methylene blue to make the scratcheds more visible. You need to cound the number of scratches visible in the field of view. Generally, the more scratches the more abrasive the toothpaste.
The part of the microscope that you put under the slide is called the objective lens. This lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen on the slide for viewing.
The part that holds the slide in place on a microscope is called the stage. The stage is where you place your sample slide for viewing under the lens of the microscope.
Methylene blue can be used to prepare slide for animal cells. For example, if you want to examine a piece of your cheek cell, you would take a piece of cotton wool and rub it on the inside of your cheek and the rub it on a microscope slide, the you add a little distilled water and then a drop of methylene blue. The final step you would take, is to cover the slide with a cover slip, then place it under the microscope.
