Materials:
- depression microscope slide
- coverslip
- vaseline
- inoculating loop
- Bunsen burner
- bacterial culture in broth
Procedure:
We placed a drop of our unknown onto the coverslip (which had vaseline put on the sides for adherence to the slide) using aseptic techniques. We then carefully placed the coverslip onto the depression slide, ensuring that the drop of bacterial culture was over the depression so that it could hang from the slide.
Results:
Once we had completed making the hanging-drop slide, we looked at our bacteria using the microscope.
Our bacteria slightly moving
Our bacteria only slightly moved back and forth, exhibiting no true motility.
