  • The stains used are such that it may stain the acidic genetic material present in the rapidly dividing cells of the virus or bacteria
  • Since the fluid that is taken from the early lesions that appear on the skin in the early stage of the disease have syncytial condition ie more amount of genetic material is present therefore the staining will take place properly.
  • 1% toluidine blue is basic dye that will stain the nucleic acid blue.
  • Methylene blue is used to observe microscopic life under the microscope. It usually stains the outer wall or membrane of the organism.
  • Alcian blue is used to stain acidic polysaccharide in muscles and tissue in histological studies.
  • Coomassie blue is used for studying proteins as it stains the protein band blue color so that it can be observed as blue bands with a clear background as it does not stain any other thing in cell.

Which of the following is more close to a black body?

  1. Black board paint

  2. Green leaves

  3. Black holes

  4. Red roses

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

we know that $\alpha +\rho +\tau =1$
${\alpha}= absorptivity$
${\rho}=reflectivity$
${\tau}=transmitivity$
so for black body ${\rho}\  and \ {\tau} \ will\  be \ zero$
so ${\alpha}=1$ so black hole has also ${\alpha}=1$ which is equivalent to black body.

Hence we can consider black holes as black body.
