LENSES AND THE BENDING OF LIGHT• light is refracted (bent) when passing
from one medium to another• Refractive Index
– A measure of how greatly a substance slows the velocity of light
• direction and magnitude of bending is determined by the refractive indexes of the two media forming the interface

LENSES• focus light rays at a specific place called the
Focal Point• distance between center of lens and focal
point is the Focal Length• strength of lens related to focal length
– short focal length more magnification

PREPARATION AND STAINING OF SPECIMENS• increases visibility of specimen• accentuates specific morphological features• preserves specimens
24
![Page 25: Microscope Types and Background](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577cc7041a28aba7119fc7c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
FIXATION • process by which internal and
external structures are preserved and fixed in position
• process by which organism is killed and firmly attached to microscope slide– heat fixing
• preserves overall morphology but not internal structures
– chemical fixing• protects fine cellular substructure and morphology of larger, more delicate organisms 25

DYES AND SIMPLE STAINING• Dyes
– make internal and external structures of cell more visible by increasing contrast with background
– have two common features• Chromophore Groups
– chemical groups with conjugated double bonds – give dye its color
• ability to bind cells
26
![Page 27: Microscope Types and Background](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577cc7041a28aba7119fc7c9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
DYES AND SIMPLE STAINING• Simple Staining
– a single staining agent is used– Basic dyes are frequently used
• dyes with positive charges• e.g., crystal violet
27
![Page 28: Microscope Types and Background](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577cc7041a28aba7119fc7c9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
DIFFERENTIAL STAINING• divides microorganisms into groups based on
their staining properties– e.g., Gram stain– e.g., acid-fast stain
28
![Page 29: Microscope Types and Background](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577cc7041a28aba7119fc7c9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

procedure• divides Bacteria into two groups based on
differences in cell wall structure

ACID-FAST STAINING• particularly useful for staining members of the
genus Mycobacteriume.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis – causes
tuberculosise.g., Mycobacterium leprae – causes leprosy
– high lipid content in cell walls is responsible for their staining characteristics

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY• beams of
electrons are used to produce images
• wavelength of electron beam is much shorter than light, resulting in much higher resolution

THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPE• electrons scatter when they pass through thin
sections of a specimen• transmitted electrons (those that do not
scatter) are used to produce image• denser regions in specimen, scatter more
electrons and appear darker

SPECIMEN PREPARATION• analogous to procedures used for light
microscopy• for transmission electron microscopy,
specimens must be cut very thin• specimens are chemically fixed and stained
with electron dense material

– coating specimen with a thin film of a heavy metal• freeze-etching
– freeze specimen then fracture along lines of greatest weakness (e.g., membranes)

STEREO ZOOM MICROSCOPY
Brings a whole new dimension to the image Known for its ability to give depth to the
image i.e., a 3D view simply because of the fact that it utilizes two different light sources producing light immediately which are made to fall on the spcimen.
51
![Page 52: Microscope Types and Background](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577cc7041a28aba7119fc7c9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Stereo Zoom Microscope utilizes two separate optical paths with two objectives and two eye pieces to provide slightly different viewing angles to the left and right eyes, there by producing a 3D view to the objet being studied.

![Page 53: Microscope Types and Background](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577cc7041a28aba7119fc7c9/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Capable of utilizing transmitted light as a source of illumination by having a bulb ot mirror beneath the transparent stage on which the specimen is placed
Great working distance and depth of field are the most impressive and important qualities of this type of Microscopes
Two kinds of Magnification systems A) Fixed magnification B) Zoom Manification

Advantages Generally called Comparison Microscope Used primarily for comparing two side by side
specimens It is used to study the topological features. The numerical aperture of the object is
approximately 0.1 limiting the useful magnification to 100x
