Chapter 2, Problem 11RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The relative advantages as well as limitations of wet mount and stain preparations in order to observe the microbes.
Introduction:
The use of mounts of bacteria and dye or stains can improve the detection of many species of bacteria. The preparation of the specimen, the type of stain used, and the species being used determines the effectiveness of these procedures. There are various types of stains that can be used to stain the specimens.
