Assignment 1

1. The different of microbiology and bacteriology:


 Microbiology is the broad term which includes virology, mycology, parasitology,
bacteriology, immunology and other branches.
 Bacteriology is a branch of microbiology dealing with the identification, study and
cultivation of bacteria and with their application in medicine, agriculture and
biotechnology.
2. Match the following microorganisms that best applies:
1. D
2. E
3. F
4. B
5. A
6. C
3. The reason that immersion oil necessary at 100× objective lens but not with the lower
power objective because of the 100× objective lens is small in dimeter but the capture most
of the light rays that are reflected as they enter the air from the side, we need the objective
lens with bigger diameter in order to get the good resolution and unfussy image. The
immersion oil has the same effect as increasing the diameter of the object lens since it is
used to prevent the loses of light rays that resulted from refraction and preserved the
direction of light rays at the light highest magnification.
4. The parts of light microscope and their function:
 Body tube: transmits the image from the objective lens to the ocular lens.
 Ocular lens: is used to re-magnify the image formed by the objective lens.
 Objective lens: are primary lens that magnify the specimens.
 Condenser: focus light through specimens.
 Stage: hold the microscope side the position.
 Illuminator: is the light source.
 Diaphram: control the amount of light entering the condenser.
5. List five bacterial diseases and five viral diseases:
o Bacterial diseases
 Escherichia coli and salmonella: cause food poisoning.
 Helicobacter pylori: cause gastritis and ulcers.
 Neisseria gonorrhoeae: cause the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea
 Neisseria meningitides: causes meningitis.
 Staphylococcus aureus: causes a variety of infection in the body, including
boils, cellulitis, abscesses, wound infection, toxic shock syndrome,
pneumonia and food poisoning.
o Viral diseases:
 Chickenpox: is an extremely contagious infection cause by varicella-zoster
virus.
 Herpes: is a term that generally refers to a family of viral infection
characterized by painful, fluid-filled sores or blisters and around the mouth
or genital region.
 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV): is the acronym from the human
immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
 Human papillomavirus: are the group of more than 150 viruses, 40 of which
are known to infect the genital areas.
 Shingles: is painful disease caused by reactivation of the same virus that
causes chickenpox, the varicella zoster virus.
