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
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 organelles can absorb iodine stain and be seen with the low power of a compound light microscope?
nucleus
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!
Why are some of the cell organelles not clear in the structure of the cells observed under microscope?
It is not possible to see organelles with a compound light microscope because some organelles are to small to be seen with the low magnification of the light microscope. If they can not be seen through the compound microscope they are normally looked at through the electron microscopes (transmission electron microscope {TEM} or scanning electron microscope {SEM}).
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
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 are we not able to see viruses viruses with compound light microscopes we use is the science lab?
Becoz they r too smaller than bacteria and they examined in electron microscope(TEM&SEM)
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 a water molecule be seen through a compound light microscope?
No
What type of microscope can be used if items are too small to be seen with a regular microscope?
a compound light microscope
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
Why couldn't you see a virus with your microscope even if you increased the eyepiece lens magnification to 100x?
Viruses are too small to be seen in a light microscope.

Viruses are too small to be seen in a light microscope.
Is a virus smaller than an organelle?
That depends on the Organelle. Some Organelles can be seen with a light microscope, Viruses can not.
Are viruses seen under an electron microscope?
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. [2nd year Dental student, Naser]
What organelles can absorb iodine stain and be seen with the low power of a compound light microscope?
