Are Golgi apparatus visble with 400x magnification?

In my high school biology class we did a strawberry lab where we broke down cells and extracted DNA from them in a snot like bundle. We placed this bundle under a microscope and by sheer luck we found a ribbon twisted into a double helix. We could clearly see the backbone of the structure and the twists. There were twists about every length 1/5th of the length of the view field and the entire structure ran for about half of the length of the view field along the top left side of the microscope. The width was maybe 1/20th the length of the view field. I was surprised that we could observe DNA clearly at such a low magnification. We tried putting the slide under our teacher's microscope to show it on the projector (the microscope had camera attached to it) but we were unable to find a strand of DNA, let alone the same particular strand. Hope this helps.
