Microscopy

Visualisation

The microscope is an amazing tool that with light, lenses and some filters gives us a moment in the microscopic world. It is possible to identify bacteria, thanks to this instrument, and this gives us an opportunity to diagnose fussing processes.

The analysis

The analytical microscopy is used to monitor the microbiology in the biological processes and is an essential part of trouble-shooting process operating conditions causing treatment upsets. In this analysis about twenty key parameters are examined including the size and structure of flocs, the ratio of inorganic compounds, and the abundance of slime (zoogloeal structure), micro fungi, filaments, spirochaetes, free-living bacteria, flagellates, ciliates, and rotifers. The identification of any dominating filamentous bacteria can often provide important diagnostic clues about the cause(s) of sludge bulking problems.
