Practice Safe Microscopy! Protect Your High-Dry Lens Before putting any oil on your slide, make sure that the hi-dry, blue banded lens is covered up with a finger cot! From the Virtual Microbiology Classroom on Science. Prof. Online. com Image: Microscope objective lenses, T. Port
Oil Immersion Objective Lens • Has B&W band around it. • Magnifies objects 100 x. • Q: What is the Total Magnification? ____ TM • Make sure that your bacterial smear is clearly in focus at 100 x. TM. • Put a drop of immersion oil directly on each of the three bacterial smears on your slide, then switch to the oil immersion lens. From the Virtual Microbiology Classroom on Science.

Observing bacteria under oil immersion: • Don’t EVER use coarse focus when working with high dry or oil immersion. • Remember PARFOCAL! • Using oil immersion: – View bacteria with low power 100 x. TM (cant see much, but at least get them in your sights) – Protection for your high dry 400 x. TM) (blue band, – Drop of oil – Oil immersion lens – ONLY USE FINE FOCUS ADJUSTMENT!!! – When done, use lens paper to clean up your lens and the stage From the Virtual Microbiology Classroom on Science.

When obtaining a bacterial sample from a tube or plate of media do so gently! The bacteria is growing as a thin film on top of the media! Don’t scrape so hard that you have pieces of agar in your sample! If obtaining bacterial sample from slant tubes: - never pick up test tube by the cap. - do NOT set cap down on lab bench - flame neck of the test tube before & after obtaining sample.

Making a Bacterial Smear & Simple Stain 1. With a wax pencil, draw 3 dime-sized circles on a slide. 2. Flip slide over so wax is on the bottom. Draw circles with wax pencil 3. Use DI water dropper to place a very small drop of water inside each circle. 3. * sterilize inoculation loop in microincinerator and let cool * 4. Using inoculation loop, obtain a small sample of Staphylococcus epidermidis from the source plate or tube, as instructor has demonstrated. Swirl loop in circle of water on left. Put a drop of water in each circle. * IMPORTANT!!!: Very gently obtain sample of bacteria from the source plate or tube. The bacterial colonies are found growing on the surface of the TSY agar. DO NOT remove agar with your sample!! * sterilize inoculation loop in microincinerator and let cool * 4 -6 5. Using inoculation loop, obtain a small sample of Escherichia coli (E. coli) from the source plate or tube. Swirl loop in circle of water in the middle. Inoculate circle of water with each of the following: 1. Staph epi 2. E. coli, 3. Bacillus subtilis. * sterilize inoculation loop in microincinerator and let cool * 6. Using inoculation loop, obtain a small sample of Bacillis subtilis from the source plate or tube. Swirl loop in circle of water on right. * sterilize inoculation loop in microincinerator and let cool * 7. Heat fix the slide on top of your microincinerator. Allow it to stay in the platform for 5 minutes after water has completely evaporated. This kills the bacteria and sticks it to the slide. 8. Stain the slide with crystal violet for 45 seconds then observe under oil immersion. From the Virtual Microbiology Classroom on Science. Prof. Online. com 8. After heat fixing on microincinerator, stain with crystal violet, rinse, then look at with scope.
Although you will be using 100 x. TM to get your specimen in focus, you will not be able to see individual bacteria until you use the 1000 x. TM oil immersion lens. Bacterial smear at 100 x. TM Bacterial smear at 1000 x. TM (oil immersion) FYI: The example above is Staph. Remember, you want to use the microscope with a built in camera so that you can take pictures of the bacteria you see at 1000 x. TM. From the Virtual Microbiology Classroom on Science.
