Gram Staining
Gram + :
Stain purple, cell walls stain, dye crystals trap in cells with grams iodine, with alcohol- crystals remain in cells, Red dye has no effect.
Gram - :
Stain red, Cell wall stains with dye, no effect with Grams iodine, Alcohol- cell looses dye, Red dye stains colorless cells.
Pathway of Light
Passes through the condenser, gathered into a light beam that's focused on the specimen. Light leaves the specimen, enters the objective lens, and is refracted to form an enlarged image, the real image.
Resolution
Longer waves are too large to penetrate between the finer spaces and produce a fuzzy, undetailed image.
Shorter waves are small enough to enter small spaces & produce a much more detailed image.
Compound Light Microscope
Simple to use. Brightfield; more than 1 lens, what you see is upside down & backwards. All specimens are stained & use visible light.
Darkfield Microscope
Uses opaque disc & light is blocked.
Typically do not stain specimens.
Organisms are still alive.
Phase-Contrast Microscope
Defraction plates that move back & forth, cause the light to move out of phase & results in contrast. Because of light, organism is seen.
Fluorescence Microscope
Uses fluorochrome (fluorescent dye) to locate microbes
Electron Microscope
Uses electrons to see specimen & stains.
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
100,000 tmag
3D view of image
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
1,000,000 tmag
view of image is in slices
Resolving Power
Ability of lens to distinguish fine details.
Refractive Index (RI)
The amount the light bends.
Total Magnification (tmag)
Ocular Power x Objective Power= tmag
Oil immersion ( bending light)
A continuous cone of light from the condenser to the objective, which increases the amount of light. WIth immersion oil it decreases the scattering of light & enhances resolution. WIthout it, some of the peripheral light that passes through the specimen is scattered (bent) through the air or onto the slide, which decrease resolution.

Monitoring Tuberculosis Indicator Project ( NTIP )

(My Paragraph )
The National Tuberculosis Indicator Project is an indicator monitoring system that uses routine surveillance data to measure TB program performance.
According to NTIP results, TB program performance was mixed for the recent 5yrs, with general improvement for indictors related to
TB case management, but lower performance for indicators related to contact investigations of pt's with infectious TB.
Program should ensure that all pt's with TB promptly begin & then complete a full course of treatment, & that contacts to infectious pt are
identified, evaluated, & if infected given a full course of treatment; progress should be monitore using NTIP, & better understanding & overcome barriers & challenges.

Cell Wall Essay
There are two types of cell walls: Gram Positive and Gram Negative. Gram positive cell walls consist mainly of peptidoglycan. The outer layer of both cells is called glycocalyx. Glycocalyx is a gelatinous layer outside the cells the aids in protection of phagocytes and from dehydration by retaining moisture. It also aids in attachment to surfaces. Gram positive cells are thicker than gram negative cells that are thinner. They consist of mainly three layers; lipopolysaccharides, lipoprotein, and peptidoglycan. They also contain flagellum. Flagellums are typically rods, & provide movement. Another structure is pilus. There are 2 types of Pilus; common- which are another point of attachment, & sex pili. The outside of the cell have hair-like structures fimbriae which also aid in attachment. The function of the cell wall is to determine the ridged shape & protects the cell. Inside the cell wall is the cell membrane, which is semi-permeable and controls what enters and exits the cell. Inside there is also a gelatinous pool that everything floats in called cytoplasm or protoplasm. It consists of 70% - 80% water. Towards the center region is the nuclear region. It contains the nucleoid and plasmid. The nucleoid contains chromosomes that secrete chromatin, which contains a circular, single strand of DNA. The plasmid has non-essential DNA, allows bacteria to invade the body, and carry Rfactors (R –resistance). Both Types of cells contain ribosomes, which are free floating in cytoplasm and aid in protein synthesis. Another structure is the inclusion bodies, which are granules, that store nutrients and gas vacuoles that store gas. Also, there are endospores, which are immortal. Part of the DNA is walled off, eventually separating & can survive forever, regenerate, & start all over.
