Surfactants work by disrupting membrane integrity. Surfactants disrupt cell membrane integrity by absorbing at the cell membrane and destroying the cell membranes bilayer thus lowering the surface tension of the cell which results in leaky spots resulting in the cell being more permeable.

Explanation:

Surfactants are surface active chemical agents( soap and detergents) that has the ability to alter the interfacial tension between two liquids or between liquid and solids. They are amphiphilic organic compounds which plays important role as

- emulsifying agents and

- foaming agents.

Their mechanism of action is through disruption of membrane integrity and create emulsions that mechanically carry away microbes. I hope this helps, thanks.

You would have to try on order to hurt yourself. Assuming you did the proper procedures Before and the specimen is fully in sight on the x and y axis and height is the only other thing to look at, then grab the fine adjustment knob ( the smaller coarse adjustment knob), and move it to the desired height. If the specimen starts to get blurry, turn the other way. This is a lot easier if your hand doesn’t move a lot when being held still
