ive used those microscopes in geology labs, i know they allow you to see nylon fibres, but for nanoparticles you really need more focusing power. The lab i used t work in made use of SEM(scanning electron microscope) to see particles in the reange of 200 nanometres to ~900nanometres altough the microscope is capable of focousing in and out a tremendous amount
wikipedia has some useful information on this microscope
