List and describe 3 factors that affect the resolution of a compound microscope What reasons could there be for failing to obtain isolated/single colonies on a streak plate? Your answer should be specific to this technique (so should NOT refer to general aseptic technique or good laboratory practice). Give TWOreasons

Describe in detail all the steps needed to determine whether an Unknown bacteria has a Gram-positive or Gram-negative cell wall using the Gram stain. (You can describe the method presented in the Exercise 3-6 Gram stain videos or in the Lab Manual.) 1. Start by describing the method of transferring the bacteria onto the microscope slide, then describe heat-fixing the emulsion of the Unknown bacteria. (Do not describe all the steps needed to perform aseptic technique. Just say “Bacteria was added aseptically.”) 2. Describe the Gram stain in detail. (This description should include all the stains, how long the stain should set on slide, and Genus and species names of bacteria you are using as CONTROLS.)

Assume you are observing the diatom pictured in Figure 1 using the 10X lens in a compound light microscope. You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope. At 100X you are unable to see the diatom. Explain why. Explain what correction (s) should be made to allow you to see the diatom using the 100X lens. After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry. Explain, based on microscopy principles, why this has occurred.
Using the above diagram, point out all the different parts of the microscope in a numeric fashion.
