Why are unstained bacteria more difficult to observe than stained bacteria?

Answers

Answered by falsi

Bacteria are so small and their refractive index is close to water so there is not much contrast between the two and so it is difficult to see unstained bacteria. Staining adds contrast and makes stained bacteria easier to see.
