Microscope, Staining and Wet Mounts

What is the purpose of preparing a wet mount?

• To observe dead organisms or specimens under a microscope.

• To study the behavior of organisms in their natural habitat.

• To create a permanent slide for long-term storage.

• To observe living organisms or specimens under a microscope.

What is the purpose of preparing a dry mount?

• To preserve the specimen for long-term storage.

• To enhance the color and contrast of the specimen.

• To observe the specimen under a microscope without distortion or damage caused by the presence of water.

• To prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi on the specimen.

Which technique is used to prepare microscope slides?

• slide mounting

• slide staining

• slide cutting

• glass blowing

What is the purpose of staining techniques in microscopy?

• The purpose of staining techniques in microscopy is to distort the appearance of biological structures.

• The purpose of staining techniques in microscopy is to enhance visibility and study of biological structures.

• The purpose of staining techniques in microscopy is to make the biological structures invisible.

• The purpose of staining techniques in microscopy is to cause damage to the biological structures.

What is the main difference between a wet mount and a dry mount?

• Presence of a liquid medium

• Absence of a liquid medium

• Different mounting techniques

• Use of different types of slides

What is the process of preparing a wet mount?

• Placing a specimen on a microscope slide and covering it with a coverslip.

• Adding a drop of liquid on a microscope slide and covering it with a coverslip.

• Placing a specimen on a microscope slide and adding a drop of liquid on top of it.

• Placing a specimen on a microscope slide, adding a drop of liquid, and covering it with a coverslip.

What is the process of preparing a dry mount?

• Placing a specimen on a slide and covering it with a coverslip after applying heat to it.

• Placing a specimen on a slide and covering it with a coverslip without using any liquid mounting medium.

• Placing a specimen on a slide and covering it with a coverslip after soaking it in water.

• Placing a specimen on a slide and covering it with a coverslip using a liquid mounting medium.

In which type of mount is the specimen suspended in a liquid?

• solid mount

• dry mount

• moist mount

• wet mount
