http://www.fidelitysystems.com/Unlinked_DNA.html contains a photo of DNA obtained via an electronic microscope.

Note added by another user: This is NOT a photo of DNA under a compound microscope. This is DNA under a scanning electron microscope.

no, a nucleus can only be viewed using a transmission electron microscope and a scanning electron microscope as the magnification and resolution are not strong enough in a light microscope.

It depends on which type of nucleus you mean.

In Biology, the nuclei are the largest organelle in the cell and were discovered in 1719 by Van Leeuwenhoek using a normal light microscope. Researchers today will use electron microscopy and light microscopy to look at this type of nucleus.

In physics, the nucleus is at the centre of an atom and usually comprises of protons and neutrons. It is impossible to "see" them, but they can be visualised using both types of Electron Microscopy mentioned above.

no

-----------------

You can see the nucleus of a plant or animal cell with a light scope. I've looked at the nucleus of protozoa many times. I think the "No" is referring to the nucleus of an atom.

Yes but only with larger cells (E.G. An Onion cell nucleus is visible at around 150x in the top left hand corner of a cell.) You can also see human skin cell nucleus at around 900x but to see clearly I would recommend around 1500x

Yes, you can. But you are unable to see the nucleolus inside of the nucleus.

yes, because nucleus cells produce a lot of energy which makes them expand....do not ask me how i know this....
