Rapid microbial viability assay using scanning electron microscopy: a proof-of-concept using Phosphotungstic acid staining
Multiple stains have been historically utilized in electron microscopy to provide proper contrast and superior image quality enabling the discovery of ultrastructures. However, the use of these stains in microbiological viability assessment has been limited. Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) staining is a...
