Dark field microscopy produces bright images of unstained samples against a dark background. It works by using a condenser with an opaque disk to block light entering the objective lens directly, allowing only light reflected off the sample to pass through. This causes specimens to appear bright on a dark background. It is useful for viewing transparent or unstained samples like bacteria, cells, and minerals due to the contrast it provides.
This document discusses dark field microscopy. It begins by defining dark field microscopy as a technique that produces bright objects against a dark background without using stains. This is achieved through a condenser that blocks light from entering the objective lens directly, allowing only light scattered from the specimen to pass through. Applications of dark field microscopy include viewing unstained samples like microorganisms, cells, and fibers. Advantages are its ability to examine transparent specimens, while disadvantages include sensitivity to dust or bubbles. Recent developments include using smartphone microscopy with LEDs for portable dark field imaging of nanoparticles.
This document discusses various staining techniques used to visualize bacteria under a microscope. It covers simple staining techniques like Gram staining and acid-fast staining, as well as methods to identify specific structures like volutin granules and bacterial spores. Gram staining uses dyes to differentiate between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria based on their cell wall composition. Acid-fast staining targets bacteria with thick lipid cell walls like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Specialized techniques employ unique dyes and fixation steps to highlight intracellular inclusions and endospores. Proper staining is crucial for bacterial identification and clinical diagnosis.

This document provides an introduction to phase contrast microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. It discusses that phase contrast microscopy, developed in 1934, uses optical techniques to produce high-contrast images of transparent samples like living cells. It works by converting differences in refractive index to intensity differences visible to the eye. Fluorescent microscopy illuminates samples with high-energy light, causing fluorophores to emit lower-energy light, which can then be filtered and observed. Both techniques allow viewing of unstained, living samples like cells in more detail.

DARK FIELD MICROSCOPY by SIVASANGARI SHANMUGAM
Dark-field microscopy is ideally used to illuminate unstained samples causing them to appear brightly lit against a dark background.
This type of microscope contains a special condenser that scatters light and causes it to reflect off the specimen at an angle
This document describes the process of spore staining to differentiate bacterial spores from vegetative cells. It explains that spores are dormant, resistant structures formed by bacteria during adverse environmental conditions for survival. The spore staining technique uses malachite green as the primary stain for spores and safranin as the counterstain for vegetative cells. Heat is applied to help the malachite green penetrate the spore walls. Vegetative cells are decolorized but spores retain the green stain. This allows spores and vegetative cells to be distinguished microscopically.
Hans Christian Gram, a Danish physician and bacteriologist, developed the Gram staining technique in 1884 to classify bacteria. The technique involves staining a smear of bacteria with crystal violet dye, washing with iodine to form a crystal violet-iodine complex within the cell wall, then decolorizing with alcohol or acetone. Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet due to their thick peptidoglycan layer, appearing dark purple under the microscope. Gram-negative bacteria lose the crystal violet during decolorization due to their thin peptidoglycan layer and outer membrane, appearing red with the counterstain. The Gram stain technique is a simple yet effective way to rapidly classify bacteria and guide
This presentation include information about electron microscope & types of electron microscope i.e. SEM (Scanning electron microscope) & TEM (Transmission electron microscope).
An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of scattered electrons as a source of illumination. It is used to get information about structure, topology, morphology & composition of materials. It has many advantages. Basically there are 4 types of electron microscope but here we will discuss only 2 types.
Transmission electron microscopy is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra-thin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through it. Its resolution & magnification is about 10,000,000x. There are 5 types of transmission electron microscope i.e. BFTEM (Bright field transmision electron microscope), DFTEM (Dark field transmission electron microscope), HRTEM (High resolution transmission electron microscope), EFTEM (Energy filtered transmission electron microscope), ED (Electron diffraction). there are 4 techniques of TEM i.e. negative staining, shadow casting, Freeze fracture replication, freeze etching. It has many applications e.g, for the study of Cancer research, virology, chemical industry, electronic structure etc.
A scanning electron microscope is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons. Types of signals produce by SEM include secondary electrons, back scattered electrons, X-rays, light rays. There are many advantages of SEM e.g, Btter resolution, fast imaging easy to operate, work with low voltage etc.
Phase-contrast microscopy is a technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through a transparent specimen to brightness changes in the image, allowing living cells that are otherwise invisible to be seen. It works by separating light rays that pass through a specimen unchanged from those that are diffracted, using an annular diaphragm and phase plate in the light path. Phase-contrast microscopy is widely used in biological research for observing living cells, microorganisms, and other transparent specimens without staining or fixing.
The document discusses different types of microscopes used to view microscopic specimens. It describes light microscopes, which use lenses and visible light, including brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, and fluorescence microscopes. It also describes electron microscopes, which use electromagnetic lenses and electrons beams to view specimens, including transmission electron microscopes that pass electrons through thin specimens, and scanning electron microscopes that scan surfaces to produce 3D images. Key aspects and uses of each microscope type are outlined.
This document discusses various staining techniques used to visualize microorganisms under the microscope. It describes two main types of staining: positive staining, which colors the microorganisms, and negative staining, which colors the background. Specific staining methods covered include simple staining using single dyes, differential staining techniques like Gram staining and acid-fast staining, and special stains for structures such as endospores, capsules, flagella, and nuclei. Detailed procedures are provided for common staining methods along with labeled microscope images showing the results.
The document discusses basic biological concepts and genetics. It defines cells as the basic unit of life and describes prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structures. It also summarizes Mendel's experiments with pea plants which demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units now called genes, and that genes assort independently during reproduction.
This document discusses capsule staining, which is a technique used to identify the presence of bacterial capsules under a light microscope. It begins by defining bacterial capsules and explaining their functions, which include helping bacteria resist phagocytosis and providing protection. It then discusses the principle of capsule staining, which uses a negative stain to contrast the unstained capsule against stained bacterial cells. The procedure involves smearing a bacterial culture onto a slide with negative stain, staining with a counterstain like crystal violet, and examining under a microscope for unstained capsules surrounding stained cells. Examples of capsule-containing bacteria that can be identified this way include Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacillus anthracis.

Other techniques discussed include capsule staining to visualize the polysaccharide capsule of certain bacteria and wet mount preparations to directly observe motility without staining.
- Hans Christian Gram developed the Gram staining technique in 1884 while examining lung tissue from pneumonia patients under the microscope. He discovered that certain bacterial cells retained dye differently than others.
- Gram staining is a common differential staining technique that classifies bacteria as either Gram positive or Gram negative based on differences in their cell wall structure. Gram positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer that retains the primary stain, while Gram negative bacteria have a thin layer and outer membrane that washes away the primary stain.
- The Gram staining procedure involves staining a smear with crystal violet, adding a mordant, decolorizing with alcohol, and counterstaining with safranin. Gram positive bacteria appear purple/blue
This document provides instructions for Gram staining, a differential staining technique used to distinguish between bacteria based on their cell wall composition. It describes how Gram-positive bacteria retain the primary violet stain due to their thick peptidoglycan layer, appearing violet under the microscope, while Gram-negative bacteria's single peptidoglycan layer is decolorized by alcohol, causing them to appear pink when counterstained with safranin. The document outlines the Gram staining procedure and results, and examples of morphological appearances of common Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
This document discusses the Gram staining procedure used to classify bacteria as either Gram positive or Gram negative. It describes the key differences in cell wall structure that determine how bacteria retain or shed staining dyes. Gram positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer that retains the primary crystal violet stain, appearing purple under the microscope. Gram negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer and outer membrane, allowing the crystal violet to be replaced by the safranin counterstain and appear pink. The Gram stain technique was developed in 1882 and provides important information for identifying and classifying bacterial species, though it does not identify them on its own.
This document discusses different staining techniques used to visualize bacteria under a microscope. It describes simple staining using single dyes like methylene blue, and differential staining techniques like Gram staining and acid-fast staining. Gram staining differentiates bacteria into Gram-positive and Gram-negative groups based on their ability to retain or lose crystal violet dye. Acid-fast staining is used to identify acid-fast bacteria like Mycobacterium that appear bright red after staining. These staining methods allow clear visualization of bacterial morphology and structure.
1. Gram staining is a differential staining technique developed by Hans Christian Gram in 1884 that is used to classify bacteria into two groups: Gram-positive and Gram-negative.
2. The key steps of Gram staining involve staining with crystal violet dye, treating with iodine, decolorizing with alcohol or acetone, and counterstaining with safranin.
3. Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet dye after decolorization due to their thick peptidoglycan cell wall, while Gram-negative bacteria lose the dye due to their thinner cell wall. This allows bacteria to be classified based on their staining.
This document describes various staining techniques used to visualize bacteria under a microscope. It discusses how stains work by imparting color to bacteria and cellular structures. Specific stains mentioned include Gram stain, acid-fast stain, simple stains like Loeffler's methylene blue. The Gram stain technique colors bacteria either purple (Gram positive) or red (Gram negative) depending on their cell wall structure. The acid-fast stain uses carbolic fuchsin and retains its color after acid alcohol treatment to identify acid-fast bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Proper staining allows clear visualization of bacterial morphology and structures.
This document discusses various methods for identifying unknown bacterial cultures, including phenotypic, immunological, and genetic techniques. It focuses on morphological identification methods such as staining techniques like simple staining, negative staining, Gram staining, and acid-fast staining. These staining methods allow observation of bacterial size, shape, arrangement and properties to determine the taxon. Identification is important for medical, industrial, and research applications.
This document discusses various methods used to identify unknown bacterial cultures, which is a major responsibility of microbiologists. It outlines staining techniques like Gram staining, acid-fast staining, endospore staining, and capsule staining. These techniques examine morphological characteristics of bacteria like shape, arrangement, presence of spores or capsules. The document also mentions biochemical tests that detect bacterial enzymatic activity or ability to ferment carbohydrates and produce acids/gases. Identifying pathogenic bacteria is important for medical diagnostics and food/brewing industries to prevent contamination.
This document discusses microscopic examination techniques for intestinal parasites. Direct fecal smears can be used as a quick screening test but have limitations like small samples and false negatives. Fecal smears are examined wet or dried with stains like iodine. Concentration methods like flotation in saturated salt solutions increase parasite visibility by removing debris. Specific gravities between 1.10-1.35 are used to float different parasite eggs to the surface for examination.
The document discusses bacterial staining techniques, specifically simple staining and Gram's staining. It begins by explaining how staining enhances contrast under the microscope since bacteria are otherwise invisible. It then describes the basic components and process of simple staining, as well as the principles and steps of Gram's staining technique. Gram's staining allows differentiation of bacteria into Gram-positive or Gram-negative categories based on differences in cell wall structure and composition. This differential staining technique is one of the most common and important in microbiology.
Gram staining is a differential staining technique that divides bacteria into two groups - Gram positive and Gram negative - based on their ability to retain or lose crystal violet dye when treated with alcohol or acetone. Gram positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan cell wall that retains the crystal violet dye, appearing purple under the microscope. Gram negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer and outer membrane that washes away the dye, leaving them stained pink by the safranin counterstain. The procedure involves staining a heat-fixed bacterial smear with crystal violet, iodine, decolorizer like alcohol, and safranin to differentiate between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
This document provides information on staining techniques used in microbiology, including the purpose, procedures, and interpretations of common staining methods. It discusses:
- The purpose of staining is to increase contrast between microorganisms and the background under the microscope.
- Procedures for simple, differential, Gram, and acid-fast (Ziehl-Neelsen) staining are described in detail, including required materials and steps.
- Interpretation of results for each stain is also explained, such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria appearing different colors.
- Preparation of smears from different specimen types and fixing methods prior to staining is covered.
The document discusses Gram staining techniques used to differentiate between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria have thicker cell walls consisting of peptidoglycan and teichoic acids, which causes them to retain the primary dye color. Gram-negative bacteria have thinner cell walls with an outer membrane, allowing the dye to be washed out by alcohol, leaving them colorless after counterstaining. The key difference observed during Gram staining is whether the bacteria retain the crystal violet dye after decolorization and counterstaining.
Bacteria Classification By Gram Staining EssayChristy Hunt
Bizzozero staining procedure involves classifying tissues into three categories based on their mitotic activity as seen under the microscope: category I tissues with low mitotic activity, category II tissues with moderate mitotic activity, and category III tissues with high mitotic activity. The staining procedure uses proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) to label proliferating cells and support Bizzozero's 1894 tissue classification system based on mitotic index determined by examining hematoxylin and eosin stained slides under the microscope. The experiment aims to evaluate if PCNA staining agrees with Bizzozero's original tissue categorization into
The document provides instructions for staining bacteria, including preparing smears, simple staining which uses one dye, and Gram staining which distinguishes between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Proper staining techniques are described to increase contrast and visibility of bacteria under a microscope by adhering the bacteria to glass slides through drying and fixing before applying different stains.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. STAINING…?
Although living microorganisms can be directly
examined with the light microscope, they often
must be fixed and stained to increase
visibility of specific morphological
features, and preserve them for future
study.
4. SIMPLE STAIN TECHNIQUES
Place small amount of bacteria in a droplet of water on a glass slide. Air
dried.
Pass slide through a flame in a process called heat fixing. Which fixes
the cells of slide, kill most of the micro-organism and prepare them for
staining.
Slide is flooded with a basic dye such as Crystal violet or
Methylene blue for a minute or so.
The positive charged dye is attached to the Bacterial cell which
has negative charge and thus staining takes place.
This technique is effective for vegetative cells. The stain does not easily
penetrate spores.
6. NEGATIVE STAIN TECHNIQUES
Opposite to the simple staining technique.
Bacteria are mixed on a glass slide with an acidic dye such as
Congo red or black stain Nigrosin.
The mixture s smeared across the faces of slide and allow to air
dry because the stain carries negative charge. It is repelled by the
bacteria which also possess negative charge.
The stain gathers around the cell since a chemical reaction has
been take place.
Because the heat fixing is avoided thus the cells appear less
shrivelled or distorted.
They often appear larger than stained cells and more natural.
8. GRAM STAIN TECHNIQUES
Developed by Cristian Gram in 1884.
Bacteria can be grouped in to two grouped either
Gram +ve (stained Purple) or Gram –ve (stained
pink).
9. GRAM STAIN TECHNIQUES
Prepare bacterial smear on the clean slide.
Pass the slide through over the flame 2–3
times. (Heat fixing)
Apply Crystal Violet (Primary stain) on
smear for 1 minutes & rinse with water.
Apply Gram’s iodine (Mordant) for 1 minute
& wash with water.
Then wash with 95% alcohol
(Decolouriser) for 10-20 seconds & rinse
with water.
Apply Safranin (Seconday stain) for 1
minute & wash with water.
Air dry, Blot dry & Observe under Microscope.
10. H & E STAIN TECHNIQUES
H & E is a charge-based stain Techniques.
Hematoxylin stains acidic molecules shades of blue.
Eosin stains basic materials shades of red, pink and orange.
H & E stains are universally used for routine histological
examination of tissue sections.
11. H & E STAIN TECHNIQUES
Immerse section in Hematoxylin for 1 minute.
• Rinse with tap water.
• Exchange tap water until the water is clear.
Immerse sections in EOSIN stain for 1-2 minutes.
Rinse with tap water.
• Exchange tap water until the water is clear.
Dehydrate in ascending alcohol solutions (50%, 70%, 80%, 95%, 100%).
Clear with xylene .
Mount cover slip onto a labeled glass slide with DPX.
