I'm a university student in a microbio intro course and we're working with
unknowns. Many in the class, including myself, are having a difficult time
differentiating between rods and cocci on student-prepared Gram stain slides
at 1000X oil-immersion magnification. Often they look like rods but also
dividing cocci. The little "bugs" are just so small.
Any tips for the beginner?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mike
