Charlotte writes about the picture: "The stain is indian blue.  It is a negative stain, meaning that it stains the actual glass slide, leaving the bacteria unstained.  It is viewed in a compound microscope in oil immersion under 1000x total magnification.  I took the picture with my digital camera through the microscope's eyepiece; that's why it is sort of blurry.
