Simple stain

This slide was created by adding bacteria then heat fixing. After heat fixing a single stain was added then rinsed with water. What type of stain is this?

Negative stain

This slide was created by adding a drop of an acidic dye to a slide then adding bacteria with a loop. This mixture was then spread across the slide using a second slide. Once this slide dries it is ready for viewing. What type of stain is this?

Differential stain

This slide was created using two different stains, which allows for the detection of differences between organisms or even parts of the same organism. What type of stain is this?
