. Why is it helpful that the transmission compound light microscopes we studied in the lab are both parfocal and parcentered? 2. Why would it be harder to find a specimen on a slide starting with the 40x objective lens compared to the 4x objective lens. Support your answer with facts about the field of view and the comparison of both objective lenses. 3. If I wanted to observe something, let's a virus that was 50nm in size, which microscope would you recommend me using? Support your answer with facts about the microscopic utility.

The diffraction limit describes the limitationof light microscopes to distinguish objects less than 200 microns apart. Most viruses are less than 200 microns in size. (a) Brefly describe one molecular technique and one microscopy technique that could help you identify the specific virus infecting your patient. Be sure to wxplain how the technique works to identify virus particles. (b) Make an argument for which of the techniques would be best to use during clinical diagnosis.
Figure 3 is an electron micrograph of polio virus, magnified 85,000 times. Measure the diameter of virus particle X and calculate its actual diameter. Show your complete solution. Could this virus be resolved under the light microscope? Support your answer with values of resolution.
1. Microorganisms are usually measured using in nanometer and microns. Viruses are about only 0.004 to 0.1 μm, while the protozoal cyst can be as large as 50 μm in diameter. What is the protozoal cyst radius in nanometer? (μm= 1 x 10^-6 m, nm = 1 x 10^-9 m) a. 2.5 x 10^-4 nm b. 2.5 x 10^3 nm c. 2.5 x 10^-3 nm d. 2.5 x 10^4 nm 2. Mercy is experiencing a fever. Upon taking her temperature, it was found out that she has a temperature of 101.354 degrees F. How many degrees Fahrenheit is needed to be reduced in order for her temperature to return to normal of 37.1 degrees C? a. 34.54 degrees F b. 34.56 degrees F c. 34.60 degrees F d. 34.57 degrees F 3.7. Room A has a temperature of 103.5 degrees F (39.72 degrees C). Room B has a temperature of 72 degrees F. (22.22 degrees C --> 295.37 K). If room temperature in Room A will be converted into degree Celsius while the temperature in Room B will be in Kelvin scale, what would be the difference if we subtract the converted temperature of room…
1. You accidentally used safranin as the primary stain and malachite green as the counter stain during a spore staining procedure. Explain how your microscopic observation would differ from those observed when slides of spore-containing bacteria were prepared correctly. 2.One of your classmates performed a gram stain on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and found variable gram staining, with only some of the cells gram positive. What should your classmate have found? What errors could have contributed to the variable result?
Why would we be looking at viruses under a microscope in microbiology? and how does that answer relate to the wavelengths of light and the maximum magnification of a light microscope?
‘’Viruses cannot be grown in standard microbiological culture such as broth and agar. They need to be cultured in the presence of a suitable host such as prokaryotic cells (easiest to grow in the lab), plants and animals because they are unable to reproduce independently in living cells’’.2.1 Briefly, describe the advantages and disadvantages of cell culture.
A microbiologist obtained two pure biological samples: one of a virus, and the other of a viroid. Unfortunately, the labels had been lost. The microbiologist felt she could distinguish the two by analyzing for the presence or absence of a single molecule. What molecule would she search for and why?
1. Assume you isolated a single-celled organism that has a cell wall. How will you determine that it is a fungus and not a bacterium? Explain. 2. Are viruses living organisms? YES or NO? Explain your choice.
Viruses with reverse transcriptase enzyme can make a DNA copy out of its RNA genome. What implications can this capability do in health hazards?
A patient is asked to participate in a trial using a bacteriophage to treat a Streptococcus infection. The patient is worried that she will end up with a viral infection rather than a Streptococcal infection. How would you address her concerns? – discuss the specificity of viral infections. How do they infect host cells, is that a random process?
Which measurement is most reasonable for a virus? a. 65 nanometers b. 1 micrometer c. 900 nanometers
What are the advantages of real-time PCR over microscopy for diagnosing malaria? a. Giemsa stain is not required for real-time PCR b. It allows for species identification and quantification of malaria-causing plasmodium at lower blood concentration with greater sensitivity and specificity. c. Real-time PCR doesn't require the use of a microscope which is deemed too expensive. d. Real-time PCR has a hiher sensitivity for the main malaria-causing plasmodium, P. falciparum, than microscopy techniques. Thank you!!!
