  2. Streaking (microbiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaking_(microbiology)

    Illustration of streak plate procedure to achieve isolated colonies using aseptic technique. The three-phase streaking pattern, known as the T-Streak, is recommended for beginners. The streaking is done using a sterile tool, such as a cotton swab or commonly an inoculation loop. The inoculation loop is first sterilized by passing it through a ...

  3. Streak (mineralogy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streak_(mineralogy)

    Streak plates with pyrite (left) and rhodochrosite (right). The streak of a mineral is the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an unweathered surface. Unlike the apparent color of a mineral, which for most minerals can vary considerably, the trail of finely ground powder generally has a more consistent characteristic color, and is thus an important diagnostic tool in mineral ...

  4. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    In the aircraft example, the observer on the ground will observe unsteady flow, and the observers in the aircraft will observe steady flow, with constant streamlines. When possible, fluid dynamicists try to find a reference frame in which the flow is steady, so that they can use experimental methods of creating streaklines to identify the ...

  5. Inoculation loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inoculation_loop

    An inoculation loop (also called a smear loop, inoculation wand or microstreaker) is a simple tool used mainly by microbiologists to pick up and transfer a small sample of microorganisms called inoculum from a microbial culture, e.g. for streaking on a culture plate.

  6. Agar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar_plate

    In this technique, a drop of the culture on the end of a thin, sterile loop of wire, sometimes known as an inoculator, is streaked across the surface of the agar leaving organisms behind, a higher number at the beginning of the streak and a lower number at the end. At some point during a successful "streak", the number of organisms deposited ...

  8. Dark slope streak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_slope_streak

    Images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on MRO have shown that many slope streaks have relief, contrary to earlier descriptions in which no topographic distinction could be seen between the streaked and adjacent, non-streaked surface. The streaked surface is typically about 1 m lower than the non-streaked surface.

  9. Primitive streak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_streak

    The primitive streak is a structure that forms in the early embryo in amniotes. [1] In amphibians , the equivalent structure is the blastopore . [ 2 ] During early embryonic development , the embryonic disc becomes oval shaped, and then pear-shaped with the broad end towards the anterior, and the narrower region projected to the posterior.
