No, you can't see cell membrane distinctly with a compound microscope. This is because cell membrane is an extremely thin membrane. It can be observed only under electron microscope.

The cytoplasm is somewhat clear when looking through a light microscope. However you can see where the cytoplasm is. You can see cell walls and cell membranes through a light microscope, the spaces in between these lines is cytoplasm.


What organelle in a cheek cell are not visible under a light microscope?

The organelles in a cheek cell that are not visible under a light microscope are the ribosomes. These organelles are responsible for protein synthesis.


What is the cell membranes appearance?

Bio membranes are not visible under the light microscope because their plasma thickness is below the resolving power of the microscope. Under electron microscope bio membranes appear to be trilaminar or tripartite. There is an electron dense or dark layer on either side of middle electron transparent layer. Freeze etching technique has shown that a membrane possesses particles of different sizes.


How can you prove that a cell is eukaryote?

You can examine the cell under a light microscope. Eukaryotic cells have nuclei, and these should be visible under a light microscope.


Why are individual cells not visible under an electron microscope?

Is it impossible to count individual chromosomes during interphase?

Chromosomes cannot be counted during interphase because they are uncoiled and extended and so not visible under the microscope. When the cell divides the chromosomes become shorter and thicker, so they are visible under the microscope and can be counted.

Please rephrase this question. There are columnar cells in the villi of the intestines. These cells are easily visible with a light microscope, but not sure that this is what is being asked.


Are chromosomes always visible in a eukaryote cell?

In a normal eukaryotic cell which is not actively dividing, chromosomes are not visible. The DNA is loosely coiled, dispersed through the nucleoplasm. However, during cell division, the DNA condenses into ordered structures called chromosomes, which are visible under the microscope.
