Heat fixation is the procedure used to adhere a bacterial smear to a glass slide for [[brightfield microscopy]]. |
|||
{{Rcat shell| |
|||
After a smear has been allowed to dry at room temperature, the slide is gipped by tongs or a clothespin and passed through the flame of a [[Bunsen burner]] several times to heat-kill and adhere the organism to the slide. Heat fixation cannot be used in the [[capsular stain]] method as heat fixation will shrink or destroy the capsule ([[glycocalyx]])and cannot be seen in stains. |
