Chapter 3 Observing Microbes through a Microscope Biology 225: Microbiology Instructor: Janie Sigmon

Size of different cells/agents: Our cells: 10-100 mm (micrometer) Bacteria: 1-10 mm Viruses: less than 100 nm (nanometer)

“Cells alive” animation http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm (View this animation to compare the sizes of different objects, animals, and microbes)

Light Microscopes Properties of light limit magnification/resolution to 2000X Brightfield (compound light) microscope Most common Field of view is bright; specimen is darker Least expensive Requires staining of specimens usually Staining requires killing organisms

Brightfield (compound light) microscope

Images of an amoeba and a paramecium taken with our microscopes modified with darkfield capabilities

Confocal microscopy Meningitis-causing bacteria. The tiny yellow dots are Neisseria meningitidis bacteria living inside human airway cells. Although they live in the noses and throats of many people without leading to disease, if they break through into the bloodstream they can cause potentially fatal meningitis and septicemia.

Confocal micrographic image of Bacillus anthracis; cell walls appear green, while the spores appear red. Taken by CDC/ Dr. Sherif Zaki/ Dr. Kathi Tatti/Elizabeth White

Electron Microscopes Beware of artifacts Staining techniques require expertise and $$$ Dehydration of specimen Placing specimen under vacuum Transmission electron microscope (TEM) Magnify 10,000-up to 500,000X View sections of organism Can see inside viruses/cells Scanning electron microscope (SEM) Magnify 1,000-10,000X See 3D image of structure

Under a high magnification of 12230x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted some of the ultrastructural morphologic features displayed by this group of Gram-positive Micrococcus luteus bacteria. Taken by CDC/ Betsy Crane

This negative-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) depicts the ultrastructural details of an influenza virus particle, or “virion”. A member of the taxonomic family Orthomyxoviridae, the influenza virus is a single-stranded RNA virus. Taken by CDC/ Dr. Erskine. L. Palmer; Dr. M. L. Martin

Scanned-probe microscopes Can “see” molecules Expensive Used in research

Scanned-probe microscopy – Figure 3 Scanned-probe microscopy – Figure 3.11(a) is RecA (repair) protein from Escherichia coli and (b) is the O toxin from Clostridium perfringens.
