Only the largest of viruses (e.g. Pox viruses) can be seen with a good light microscope (albeit with poor detail).
Viruses usually can only be seen by electron microscopy.

∙ 15y agoNo, none are. You'll have to invest in an electron microscope!
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, you need very powerful microscopes, such as a scanning electron microscope, to see viruses because they are so small.
Wiki User

When were viruses first seen under a n electron microscope?
According to Wikipedia: Viruses are ancient. Studies at the molecular level have revealed relationships that show viral proteins that pre-date the divergence of life and thus the last universal common ancestor. This indicates that some viruses emerged early in the evolution of life, and that viruses have probably arisen multiple times.
When salts solidify they form what that can be seen in the sediment of urine under the microscope?
Crystals.
Can a water molecule be seen through a compound light microscope?
No
Can you see inside an object with an electron microscope?
No. It is far, far too small to be "seen" in any way in which we "look" at other stuff. Light, which is the medium for seeing things in the normal sense, is too "large" for the tiny electrons. We see things because the things we are looking at reflect light. The reflected light is what we form images with. Electrons are too tiny to reflect light. They are more likely to be "bumped around" by the light photons.
Can you list 10 non combustible materials?
There are many non combustible materials....Almost everywhere, these are present. Everything will burn only if the burner is powerful. But, there are some unique things which may never seen with our naked eyes. With the help of Electron Microscope, you can directly see the things which may burn.
Can Viruses be seen with a light microscope.?
Viruses are too small to be seen directly with a light microscope.Can be seen when it's examined under an electron microscope
Can you see bacteria with viruses under microscope?
Yes, bacteria can be seen under a light microscope as they are larger than viruses. However, viruses are much smaller and cannot be seen with a light microscope. Specialized electron microscopes are required to visualize viruses.
Can really be an electron seen under microscope?
only under an electron microscope wiki it
What cell structure could not be seen until the electron microscope was invented?
viruses
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.
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
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.
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
Why could viruses not be seen before 1938?
Viruses could not be seen because the resolution and magnification was not good enough until 1938 when Ernst Ruska developed the electron microscope.
What can be seen under a electron microscope and not a light microscope?
An electron microscope has a much higher magnifying power and resolution than a regular light microscope. One can visualize molecules and even atoms using an electron microscope. This is not possible with a light microscope
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.
Why must an election microscope be used to see a viruses?
Because Viruses are very small... Even smaller than bacteria... They are so small that they cannot be seen by any ordinary light microscope ! hence You Need To Use An Electron Microscope!
