Observation of Methylene Blue-stained Cheek Cells using Foldscope
Human cheek cells can be observed under a microscope after staining with methylene blue dye. Since methylene blue (cationic in nature) binds with DNA and RNA (anionic in nature) by electrostatic means, it gives a darker blue color to nucleic materials as represented in the image given below. This procedure and foldscopic exercise can be…
Observation of Stained Blood Smear Using Foldscope
The blood smear was stained with Leishman stain and observed under the foldscope thereafter. The Leishman stain consists of two chemical groups, i.e. Azure B (basic dye) and Eosin Y (acidic dye). The erythrocytes stain pink in color due to Eosin Y as hemoglobin is eosinophilic (acidophilic), whereas the Azure B is a cationic dye…
Foldscope application in quality control of electrospun fibers by observing beads formation
The solution of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) of varying concentrations were prepared and used to fabricate nano- and micro-spun fibers for biomaterial applications. If any beads are present in these electrospun fibers (which is an indication of poor quality fibers), it suggests the need to optimize the parameters (such as temperature, humidity, concentration, speed, etc.). Here, the…
