In sample preparation for electron microscopy, arrange the following steps in correct order A. Apply non-coagulant fixatives to kill cells instantly with minimal structural alterations. B. Wash the specimen with deionized water and then dry it by passing through increasing concentrations of ethanol. C. Expose specimens to uranyl salts to enhance the electron scattering capacity of cellular components. D. Using an ultramicrotome, make ultrathin cuts in the embedded specimen that would be penetrable to electrons. E. Allow the embedding medium to seep into the interstices of the tissue.

What can you observe in viewing your stained bacterial slide under the microscope if you heat fixed your slide in a much longer exposure to heat?
Explain when to use bright-field, phase-contrast, dark-field, fluorescence, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopy for a given situation. What is an example of this situation?
Staining of cells is often performed to enhance images acquired by brightfield microscopy. Phasecontrast microscopy does not require cell staining. Why is this advantageous?
Discuss the microscopy technique that gives the best contrast image of non-biological samples such as micro and nano-particles.
What factors must be addressed to properly acquire quantitative fluorescence microscopy images? What information about the imaging system should be recorded? What controls are needed and what standards are available?
The above photograph (IMAGE ATTACHED) of a cheek smear was obtained using the high-power objective of a compound microscope. What is the size of the circled cheek cell in millimeters AND nanometers?
Explain the differences between gel electrophoresis and column chromatography. Address the principles behind each separation. Why do large molecules migrate more easily in one method and with more difficulty in the other? Which method generated the most precise results?
a) Describe the technique Of Atomic Force Microscopy under the following headings: (i) Basic principle of AFM and overview of operations (ii) Modes of A FM
Which of the following describes the usefulness of a Gram stain. Select all that apply. a. A Gram stain can be used to check for bacteria at the site of a suspected infection or in certain body fluids, such as blood or urine. b. A Gram stain can be used to determine whether penicillin will be effective at treating the patient or whether a different antibiotic should be used. c. A Gram stain can determine whether the bacteria have a thick or thin layer of peptidoglycan in their cell wall.
