multiple times. Unexpected results Organism appears red, but is actually Gram-positive. Organism appears violet, but is actually Gram-negative. Organism has no color. Cells appear to be fused together. No cells are visible on the slide. Organism appears hot-pink, but is not -acid-fast. Organism apnears blue but is acid-fast Potential explanations Slide was decolorized too long. Slide was not decolorized long enough. Smear was too thick, and held on to the primary stain. Cells were overheated on slide, either during the drying or heat-fixing process. Smear was not heat-fixed. Culture was more than 24 hours old.
