From streaking plates to running PCR, microbiology lab skills are the backbone of disease detection and research. But mastering them isn’t just about technique—it’s about safety, precision, and ...

From Gram staining to IMViC biochemical profiling, microbiology labs rely on a range of techniques to identify and study bacteria. These methods blend time-tested protocols with advanced molecular ...

Welcome to Microbiology! In this portion of the course, we will explore the central roles of microorganisms in nature and in our daily lives. In this process of discovery, we will become adept with ...

An easily assembled smartphone microscope provides new ways of interacting with and learning about common microbes. The open-source device could be used by teachers or in other educational settings, ...

If you walked into a classroom laboratory you would probably see a cupboard full of microscopes, used maybe just a handful of times a year, old but still in good shape, clean and ready to go. Then ...

Researchers at MIT have reported a method they’ve developed for generating very high-resolution tissue sample images. The technique is also much cheaper than tools that provide similar results.

With the new 3-D printed, easily assembled smartphone microscope developed at Stanford University, microbiology can now be turned into game time. The device allows kids to play games or make more ...

Welcome to Microbiology! The overarching goals for the laboratory portion of this course are to teach microbiological techniques and to show students the impact of microbes on our daily lives and ...
