QUESTION OF THE DAY…
Acid-fast staining of a patient’s sputum is a rapid, reliable, and inexpensive method to diagnose tuberculosis. What color would bacterial cells appear if the patient has tuberculosis?

Units of Measurement
1 µm = 10–6 m = 10–3 mm 1 nm = 10–9 m = 10–6 mm 1000 nm = 1 µm 0.001 µm = 1 nm
PRACTICE: If a microbe measures 10 μm in length, how long is it in nanometers?

Compound Light Microscopy
In a compound microscope, the image from the objective lens is magnified again by the ocular lens
Total magnification =objective lens ocular lens

Compound Light Microscopy
Resolution is the ability of the lenses to distinguish two points
A microscope with a resolving power of 0.4 nm can distinguish between two points ≥ 0.4 nm
Shorter wavelengths of light provide greater resolution
![Page 10: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Learning Objectives Observing Microorganisms Through a Microscope Chapter 3.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e405503460f94b31624/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Compound Light Microscopy
The refractive index is a measure of the light-bending ability of a medium
The light may bend in air so much that it misses the small high-magnification lens
Immersion oil is used to keep light from bending

Preparing Smears for Staining
Staining: Coloring the microbe with a dye that emphasizes certain structures
Smear: A thin film of a solution of microbes on a slide
A smear is usually fixed to attach the microbes to the slide and to kill the microbes
