The use of a microscope
Describe a clinical or research scenario that requires the use of a microscope. What microscope is the best choice for your scenario and why? What would be your second choice?
Analyze how golden age microbiologists performed experiments to observe, identify, culture and classify different microorganisms and their macromolecules.
Apply the concepts of genetics and genome in the study of microorganisms
A second option for this scenario could be an always fluorescence microscope (AFM). AFMs are ideal for studying fluorescently labeled proteins and nucleic acids as they have higher resolution than standard optical microscopes. Additionally, they also offer improved contrast compared to traditional techniques which makes them well suited for observing structural details within microorganisms’ cells and other macromolecules; however their cost may make them less appealing if money is tight.
Overall, when considering what type of microscope should be selected based on the described scenario it is important to keep in mind factors like budget constraints as well as what outcomes are desired from conducting such studies – e.g., imaging live specimens or analyzing molecules/structures etc
