Excerpt: ...the reagents are applied by a pipette at one edge of the cover-glass, and withdrawn from beneath the cover by means of a strip of filter paper placed at the opposite edge. Cover-glass Impressions.--A perfectly clean coverglass is placed on a plate or potato culture and gently pressed into it; it is then carefully raised by forceps and allowed to dry after being passed through the flame three times. The growth in this way is bodily transferred to the cover-glass.

Now wash in alcohol until most of the color has disappeared, then clarify in oil of cloves. Such sections are to be mounted at once in balsam, when the tissues will be seen to have a faint yellow color, and the bacteria are deep blue or black. Most micro-organisms can be stained by this method, but some require a different treatment. For example, the bacillus of glanders is best stained with an alkaline solution of methyl blue, which is prepared (Schutz) by making a one-tenth part per thousand watery solution of caustic potash and adding one-third the bulk of a saturated solution of methyl blue. These specimens are then treated with dilute acetic acid, and mounted in the regular way. So also the typhoid bacilli are said to be stained best by this method--not so well by...
