This document contains questions about different microscopy techniques used in clinical laboratories. It asks about the differences between bright-field and dark-field microscopy, when fluorescence microscopy is used, the parts of a microscope and their functions, the difference between bacterial motility and Brownian movement, why a smear must be dry before heat fixation, and when to use a phase-contrast microscope. It also defines culture, medium, and aseptic technique.

1. Differentiate bright-field from dark-field microscopy.
2. When is fluorescence microscopy used in a clinical
laboratory? 3. Write at 5 parts of a microscope and state their functions. 4. What is the difference between true bacterial motility and Brownian movement? 5. Why must the smear be totally dry before heat fixation? 6. When would you use the phase-contrast microscope? 7. Define the following: A. Culture B. Medium C. Asceptic technique
