Yes. They are too small to be seen with even the best optical microscopes.

Which virus can be seen by light microscope?
None can. They have to be seen using a electron microscope.
A virus is 50 nm in size so would you recommend using a stereo compound light microscope or an electron microscope to see it?
Viruses can only be seen with electron microscopes
What type of microscope would you use to view SARS?
SARS is a virus, requiring an electron microscope to be seen.
Can really be an electron seen under microscope?
only under an electron microscope wiki it
What microscope is used to see a flu virus?
The electron microscope is used to view things such as viruses as they are to small to be seen on a light microscope
Can you see virus with the naked eye?
Since a virus is far smaller than a typical cell (much smaller than a prokaryote) a virus cannot be seen by a regular microscope. To see a virus, you should get an electron microscope.
What type of microscope can be used to study a viruses?
As viruses cannot be seen with the optical microscope, electron microscopes are used. All the "lenses" in an electron microscope are magnetic fields produced by electromagnets and/or electrostatic fields produced by electrically charged metal plates and/or rings.
Is AIDS an organism that can be seen under a microscope?
AIDS is the disease caused by the virus called HIV. It can not be seen under a light microscope (as one in the class lab) but you must use an electron microscope as they are very tiny.
Which virus can be seen without electron microscope?
Hey this is a different question ummm...
How can viruses be seen?
Viruses are incredibly small - much smaller than the smallest of bacteria, even though many millions of bacteria could fit on a pinhead. Therefore viruses can only be seen with the help of a very powerful microscope such as a scanning ellectron microscope.
What type of organism requires ther use of an electron microscope for visualization?
Because of their very small size Viruses can only be seen via an electron microscope.
What is smallest a skin cell a virus or a freckle?
A virus is the smallest because you can see a freckle with naked eye and you can see a skin cell under ordinary light microcope but viruses are ultramicroscopic and cannot be seen under light microcope. Instead a virus can only be seen under high resolution electron microscope.
