WASHING MICROSCOPIC ORGANISMS

Natural and Induced Fluorescence in Microscopic Organisms

The fluorescence of microscopic organisms may be either natural or induced. Organisms which do not have sufficient intrinsic fluorescence can be impregnated with specific chemicals called fluorochromes or fluors. Both types of fluorescence depend upon the presence of materials which emit radiation at a wavelength different from that of the light source. These substances absorb radiant energy an...

Preparation of pleuropneumonia-like organisms for microscopic study.

I This investigation was supported in part by research grants (E-2764 and E-2765) from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, U. S. Public Health Service. 2 Special Research Fellow, U. S. Public Health Service. with differential staining would aid in their identification. There are two basic methods currently being used for the preparaticn of PPLO colonies for microscopic st...

Swimming by microscopic organisms in ambient water flow

When microscopic organisms swim in their natural habitats, they are simultaneously transported by ambient currents, waves, and turbulence. Therefore, to understand how swimming affects the movement of very small creatures through the environment, we need to study their behavior in realistic water flow conditions. The purpose of the work described here was to develop a series of integrated field...
