Define Precautions for Simple Staining of Bacterial Cultures?
1. Heat fix all the bacterial smears.
2. Use clean, grease free glass slides.
3. Wash the stained slide gently with tap water by holding it parallel to water stream to avoid loss of cells.
4. Use oil in very small quantity, otherwise it would spoil the lens.
5. Do not wipe the slide.
6. Maintain aseptic conditions.
