Flagella are too
thin to be seen with a light microscope without enhancement. Liefson’s flagella stain can be used to demonstrate their
presence. During the
procedure, the stain becomes deposited upon the flagella until they are
thick enough to be seen. Note
the numerous thread-like flagella extending from the cells. What
type of flagellation do these cells possess?
