A NEW method of providing dyes for some of the commoner staining procedures has been developed and tested. A small volume of the required dye solution is prepared according to the appropriate ...

So the microscope was able to slide over the surface of individual bacteria to detect protein molecules on the cell surface and in contact with the metal. The researchers coated their probe tip ...

Microscopes enhanced with artificial ... suspected bloodstream infections were incubated to increase bacterial numbers. Then, slides were prepared by placing a drop of blood on a glass slide ...

He developed sophisticated techniques for observing bacterial growth on microscope slides, and saw that anthrax could form spores that survived desiccation, but produced more bacteria when put ...

a special microscope slide, and either a smartphone or a digital camera. Users start by placing a drop of bacteria-containing biological fluid on the slide. Tiny microfluidic channels within the ...

Bacteria have an unfortunate—and inaccurate—public image as isolated cells twiddling about on microscope slides. The more that scientists learn about bacteria, however, the more they see that ...

Ten minutes later, you have a device that weighs 9 grams, fits in a pocket, holds regular microscope slides, and can magnify ... s claws to a colony of bacteria. Best of all, the device costs ...

Once scientists thawed the ice, the previously undiscovered bacteria started swimming around on the microscope slide. The researchers say it is the first new species of microbe found alive in ...

Microscopes became cheaper, and a popular form of entertainment. Viewers peered through them at specimens they'd collected themselves or slides prepared professionally. The image above shows an ...
