Electron microscopy stains

Ammonium molybdate

Ammonium molybdate can refer to.

See Negative stain and Ammonium molybdate

Atomic number

The atomic number or nuclear charge number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the charge number of an atomic nucleus.

See Negative stain and Atomic number

Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.

See Negative stain and Bacteria

A biological membrane, biomembrane or cell membrane is a selectively permeable membrane that separates the interior of a cell from the external environment or creates intracellular compartments by serving as a boundary between one part of the cell and another.

See Negative stain and Biological membrane

Biological specimen

A biological specimen (also called a biospecimen) is a biological laboratory specimen held by a biorepository for research.

See Negative stain and Biological specimen

Bright-field microscopy

Bright-field microscopy (BF) is the simplest of all the optical microscopy illumination techniques.

See Negative stain and Bright-field microscopy

Electron

The electron (or in nuclear reactions) is a subatomic particle with a negative one elementary electric charge.

See Negative stain and Electron

Electron microscope

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Negative stain and electron microscope are electron microscopy.

See Negative stain and Electron microscope

Flagellum

A flagellum (flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (zoospores), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.

See Negative stain and Flagellum

Fluid

In physics, a fluid is a liquid, gas, or other material that may continuously move and deform (flow) under an applied shear stress, or external force.

See Negative stain and Fluid

Hexagon

In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ, hex, meaning "six", and γωνία, gonía, meaning "corner, angle") is a six-sided polygon.

See Negative stain and Hexagon

India ink

India ink (British English: Indian ink; also Chinese ink) is a simple black or coloured ink once widely used for writing and printing and now more commonly used for drawing and outlining, especially when inking comic books and comic strips.

See Negative stain and India ink

Infection

An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce.

See Negative stain and Infection

Lamella (materials)

A lamella (lamellae) is a small plate or flake, from the Latin, and may also be used to refer to collections of fine sheets of material held adjacent to one another, in a gill-shaped structure, often with fluid in between though sometimes simply a set of 'welded' plates.

See Negative stain and Lamella (materials)

Liposome

A liposome is a small artificial vesicle, spherical in shape, having at least one lipid bilayer.

See Negative stain and Liposome

Micelle

A micelle or micella (or micellae, respectively) is an aggregate (or supramolecular assembly) of surfactant amphipathic lipid molecules dispersed in a liquid, forming a colloidal suspension (also known as associated colloidal system).

See Negative stain and Micelle

Microscope

A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Negative stain and microscope are microscopy.

See Negative stain and Microscope

Microscopy

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

See Negative stain and Microscopy

Nigrosin

In staining dyes, nigrosin (CI 50415, Solvent black 5) is a mixture of black synthetic dyes made by heating a mixture of nitrobenzene, aniline, and hydrochloric acid in the presence of copper or iron.

See Negative stain and Nigrosin

Opacity

Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light.

See Negative stain and Opacity

Optics

Optics is the branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.

See Negative stain and Optics

Osmium tetroxide

Osmium tetroxide (also osmium(VIII) oxide) is the chemical compound with the formula OsO4. Negative stain and osmium tetroxide are electron microscopy stains.

See Negative stain and Osmium tetroxide

Phosphotungstic acid

Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) or tungstophosphoric acid (TPA), is a heteropoly acid with the chemical formula. Negative stain and Phosphotungstic acid are electron microscopy stains and staining.

See Negative stain and Phosphotungstic acid

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See Negative stain and Protein

Spore

In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual (in fungi) or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions.

See Negative stain and Spore

Staining

Staining is a technique used to enhance contrast in samples, generally at the microscopic level. Negative stain and Staining are microscopy.

See Negative stain and Staining

Transmission electron microscopy

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image.

See Negative stain and Transmission electron microscopy

Uranyl acetate

Uranyl acetate is the acetate salt of uranium oxide, a toxic yellow-green powder useful in certain laboratory tests. Negative stain and Uranyl acetate are electron microscopy stains.

See Negative stain and Uranyl acetate

Uranyl formate

Uranyl formate (UO2(CHO2)2·H2O) is a salt that exists as a fine yellow free-flowing powder occasionally used in transmission electron microscopy. Negative stain and Uranyl formate are electron microscopy stains.

See Negative stain and Uranyl formate

Virus

A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.

See Negative stain and Virus
