can you go 100x on a wet mount
Phase-contrast anddarkfield microscopies are used for wet mounts, whereas brightfield can be used for both wetmounts and stained specimens.You will also get your first exposure to the preparation of a bacterial smear and subsequent staining ofit. However, you are making a simple stain, using only one dye. Go DOWN into the algae and muck to get a really good sample of protozoa and algae. ï· Focus on the sample using 10X, then go to 40X (NOT 100X). Start with brightfield, thenswitch over to darkfield and phase-contrast (see directions below).
