My instructor told me to put the culture over normal saline for better sticking of bacteria on slide. Is she correct.

What happens if you heat your smear too much or not enough?

[@biostaples]

Too much will destroy the cells. Too little -- the cells won't attach and most will wash off during staining and rinsing.
