Label the parts of the microscope and provide their function.
Practice gram staining and acid-fast staining techniques by following their flow charts.
Instructions:
Click the interactive “Virtual Labs” link. Next, click “Gram Staining” on the top center of the simulator and perform the indicated activities. As you move forward by pressing “Continue,” a link labeled “Photo” may appear in view. Click on it to see an actual photo of the slide.
Using the same interactive virtual lab, click “Using the Microscope” and perform the indicated activities. Pay attention to the names and functions of the microscope parts and how to use the oil immersion lens. Print out the pdf “Label the Microscope Parts” (created and freely available by MicroscopeWorld.com) and label its parts. Please write down your name on the top right of the paper, take a picture, and upload it here.
On the left side of the printout “Label the Microscope Parts,” write down the answers to these questions (you do not have to write down the question, only the response using one to three words): What was added on the prepared slide when viewing the yogurt specimen with the 100x objective? How are the dyes removed from the fixed slide?
Sketch a flow chart for gram staining. A flow chart is a simple sketch that outlines the steps to complete a procedure. Include the names of the stains and the timing. Here is an explanatory video on how to create a flow chart.
