The Gram stain is one of the most important differential staining techniques applied to bacteria and was first developed by Christian Gram in 1884. In theory it should be possible to divide bacteria into two groups: Gram-positive and Gram-negative. However, in practice it is common to observe...

Progress in Positive staining of viruses New techniques are being developed to positively identify viruses using the Transmission electron Microscope to observe novel morphologies and physiological features of viruses. For example, the Tokuyasu staining procedure (TSP), is a positive staining method using...
in December 2022 in Elsevier, the research indicated promising results regarding the potential for an automated algorithm for the classification of microscopic gram stain images. Furthermore, a rise in clinical studies with the utilization of various gram-staining techniques is expected to drive market...

For example, the contact-type staining patch 100 may be used in various ways such as for 1) techniques in which an object to be stained is directly reacted with a staining sample 140 to be stained including 1-1) a Giemsa staining technique or a Wright staining technique is accompanied by...
liquid is withdrawn continuously from its vessel, filtered and re-introduced into the vessel. However, because Becker et al. teaches the dipping of slides into vessels, the approach of Becker et al. suffers from the disadvantages common to techniques where large quantities of reagent are employed...
Negative staining is one of the many staining techniques that can be employed for viewing of bacterial cell morphology and size. The advantages of the negative stain include the use of only one stain and the absence of heat fixation of the sample. Negative staining employs the use of an ...
