Chapter 1 Microbiology Background Historical Material Know the works or accomplishments of the following individuals. Antonie van Leeuweenhoek Louis Pasture Lister Koch (know the Koch’s postulates) Spontaneous Generation Who studied this problem? What did they believe caused this? Know the experiments they used to disprove spontaneous Generation What is the scientific method? a. How does it work b. Know the different parts of this methods c. What are the keys to good science What are different areas of study under Microbiology? d. Can you list and explain 2- Microbiology techniques (Chapter 3) Microscopes Review the principles of light microscopy Objective lens Ocular lens Real and virtual image Total power of magnification Resolution and resolving (be able to define the components of the Abbe equation) Basic types of Microscopes Bright field Dark field Phase-contrast Florescence Electron microscopy How do we prepare a specimen? How do different stains work? Why would you chose one over another? Why are they necessary at all? Tools of the Laboratory (Chapter 4) Eukaryotic & Procaryotic Profiles Know the components of a prokaryotic Cell you will see it again HINT Cell morphology (know the different shapes (ie, diplococci, streptococci, tetrad, sarcinae, staphylococci, etcetera.)
