Spore Presence Test?
    #5661228 - 05/22/06 06:26 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Is there any way to detect the presence of spores short of a microscope?

No, only if there clumped together, with enough to become visible.


Grow it out, in a LC is a fast way of knowing.

You can't see anything goofy under a blacklight? It doens't change the ph of the solution enough to meter it?

How powerful of a microscope do I need? How about a really powerful magnifying glass?

Spores are between 5-30 microns.

Hm. So how much magnification would I need to see spores and do non-viable spores look substantially different?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry I dont know that man, but strong enough to detect 5-30 microns  :wink:

Yes spores have a specific shape.

They're barely visible at 40X. They don't become much clearer until 400X. If you wish to see the nucleus and other internal cell components you really need 1000X with a condenser to focus the light. Without the condenser you rarely see more than just the body of the spore, because the light isn't focused on that one spot enough to shine through the cell wall to reveal what's inside.
