Microscope uses in wine lab
• Testing for presence of spoilage organisms
• Counting cells
• Yeast viability
• Check juice concentrate for contamination
• Determine sterility status of bottling line
• Assess bottled wine status
Microscope use
• Turn the microscope on
• Place the prepared wet mount on the microscope stage
• Swing in a low powered objective (10x); focus on the sample
using the coarse focusing knob
• Perform Köhler Illumination
• Swing in the high dry objective (40x); focus on the sample
using the fine focus knob only
• Swing the objective out of the way and add a drop of
immersion oil
• Swing in the oil immersion objective (100x); focus on the
specimen using the fine focus knob only
• Adjust the light intensity with each new objective
Microscope use
• When finished with the sample swing the objectives out of
the way
• Lower the stage of the microscope all the down
• Turn the light source to low and turn the power off
• Use lens paper to gently absorb excess oil from the 100x
objective (DO NOT RUB)
• When storing place a dust cover over the microscope
• If you need to move the microscope carry it carefully by the
arm; avoid having to move the microscope regularly
• A yearly maintenance by a microscope professional is
recommended

Köhler illumination
• Köhler illumination is a way to adjust the condenser to get the
optimum light path for the microscope
• Benefits:
• Evenly illuminated image
• No reflection or glare from the light source
• Requires a microscope with a field diaphragm and lens and a
condenser (see Iland pgs 68-69)
Microscopy set-up
• Micrometer
• See Iland pg. 70
• Troubleshooting
• See Iland pg. 71
Aseptic technique
Iland pgs. 82-83
• Measures to prevent contamination
• Pure cultures
• Sterile media
• You
• Guidelines
• Ethanol (80%) work surfaces before and after
• Wash hands
• Technique
• Efficiency
• Attention to sterility
• Inoculating loops, forceps, open neck containers

•
•
•
•
•
•
Use dyes to make microorganisms more visible
To aid in identification
Sterile water and colony from plate (clean toothpick)
Liquid culture
Clean slides, aseptic technique
Air dry, heat fix
Stain
• See Iland pg. 108
Bright field microscopy
• Simple stain
• Gram stain
• Yeast viability
Simple stain
• Use single stain to adhere to specific cellular
features to improve contrast
• Example: methylene blue

Haemocytometer
• Counting chamber
• Yeast cell concentration
• Budding yeast cells
• Yeast viability
• See Iland pgs. 92-94
Neubauer Hemocytometer
Results
• Methylene blue stain:
• Clear cells-viable (they reduce the blue dye to its colorless
form)
• Blue cells-dead
• Prior to addition to must, yeast must be expanded
such that final viable cell numbers are 2-5 x 10 6
cells/ml
• In actively growing starters, budding cells should
comprise 60-80% of total cell number

Salvage maneuvers
• Resuscitate: If yeast viability is still greater than 25% , still
producing CO2, temp is above 55 whites and 60 reds
•
•
•
•
Stir up tank-resuspend yeast cells
Yeast hulls-0.5-1#/K gallons
Yeast extract (sterols, fatty acids)might help
Regulate temp (65-75F, no more than 80)
• As lose CO2, blanket with argon, CO2
• Protect wine from Acetobacter and other aerobic bacteria
• Check for Lactobacillus and add lysozyme if needed
• Watch alcohol and VA levels
• As Vas get close to LL (1.2g/L reds, 1.1 g/L whites) and alcohol
gets close to 15%, reinoculation gets harder
• RO or blending
Reinoculation
• Create a high concentration yeast starter with a
very strong yeast
• Add some juice (1-5 % volume of total stuck
volume of wine) so start turning the juice to
alcohol
• Acclimates membranes to alcohol
• Add incremental amounts of your stuck wine to
the newly fermenting starter
• Monitor the starter for fermentation rate and only
adding stuck wine while the starter is fermenting
strongly
Success of restarting
• Most successful when:
• Less than 25% yeast viability
• Delle Units are under 65 ([% alc x 4.5]+%RS)
• No Lactobacillus infection
Phase contrast microscopy
• Used to increase contrast when viewing unstained
cells
• Increase contrast by making use of small
differences in refraction of light passed through
cells
• Cells have higher refractive index and density than
water
• Appears dark against light background
• Used for living cells, motility and viability
Phase contrast

Wet mount
• Procedure:
• Place one drop of water on a microscope slide.
• Sterilize an inoculation loop with a flame.
• Touch a colony with the cooled inoculation loop.
• Mix the cells with the water.
• Place a cover slip over the sample.
• Place slide on the microscope stage; focus with a low
powered objective, then add a drop of immersion oil
and focus with 100x objective.
