What is Specimen Prep for Light Microscopy about?
This document discusses two basic types of specimen preparation for light microscopy - wet mounts and fixed specimens. Wet mounts involve placing the specimen directly on a slide in a drop of liquid. Fixed specimens involve attaching the specimen to the slide through heating or chemical treatment, which also kills microorganisms and preserves cellular structure. Staining is then often applied to provide contrast and visibility of structures under the microscope. Common staining techniques include Gram stain
