Question
Chapter 36.3, Problem 1RIA
Summary Introduction
To determine: Two specimens for which microscopy would be used in the initial diagnosis of an infectious disease.
Introduction: Microbial organisms can be visualized directly using an appropriate type of microscopy. The specimens used can be heat-fixed or chemically fixed or wet-mount. Ordinary bright-field microscopy, phase-contrast or dark-field microscopy helps to examine various microbial samples.
