In the world of microorganisms, microbes compete for turf, spew chemicals at foes, and sometimes exploit the microscopic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Bacterial vaginosis ... They’ll smear the cells on a small microscope slide and mix them with a saline solution. They’ll view the slide under a microscope. Your doctor will know what type ...

But microscopy studies revealed that the strands were actually bacteria so large that they can be seen without the help of a microscope. Specifically, the newly discovered bacteria, which the ...

A cheap holographic microscope capable of detecting E. coli and other bacteria has been developed by researchers in the US. The handheld device uses a laser instead of lenses to identify bugs in ...
