Review on Microbiological Instruments

The most fundamental skill of microbiology is the use of the microscope. This earliest microscope magnified objects up to 100 times the objects actual size. Today’s 13 microscopes often employ more than two sets. The largest and most accurate microscope is the electron microscope that uses electrons in a focused beam to illuminate objects rather than light. The electrons pass through the specimen being viewed and are electrically focused. The teaching of such an important subject as microbiology cannot be achieved effectively without enhancing the theory with “hands on” experience in the laboratory. The purpose of this manual is to provide teachers and technicians with good techniques in practical microbiology to ensure that investigations proceed safely and achieve the required educational aims successfully.
