Would you use a stereomicroscope or compound light microscope or electron microscope to see a virus?

A virus of 50nm would be too small to see unless an electron microscope was used because it has greater resolving power and a resolution up to .1nm. A microscope using compound light as the means of illumination could not resolve better than approx. 200nms.

The smallest particle of a compound formed when atoms combine?
If it's a molecular compound, the smallest amount would be one molecule. If it's an ionic compound, the smallest amount is a formula unit.
How do you draw the ionic compound LiBr?
That would be: Li+ bonded via the 'Shared Electron Pair' with Br-; or Li+Br-. Linus Pauling was the originator of the Shared Electron Pair concept!
NACL3 Lewis structure?
A couple problems with this question: 1. There is no such compound as NaCl3. 2. Sodium is an alkali metal and Cl is a halogen, and the two would always form the ionic compound NaCl, not a covalent compound. You cannot draw Lewis structures for ionic compounds. You can draw Lewis electron diagrams for the individual ions (Na+ and Cl-), but not a structure for the ionic compound.
Would lithium combine with fluorine make an ionic compound?
Yes, definitely. It would form LiF, or Lithium fluoride. Lithium is a metal with 1 extra electron that it needs to lose to become stable and Fluorine is a nonmetal with 7 electrons so it needs to gain 1 more to fill its valence electron shell and complete its octet. Lithium loses its electron to Fluorine and this creates an ionic bond.
What is oxygen monofluoride?
The chemical compound oxygen monofluoride, OF, is not known. The molecule OF2 is known as is HOF. Oxygen monofluoride would have only 13 valence electrons and would therefore have one unpaired electron and would be termed a free radical.
Which type of microscope would you use to view a Euglena swimming in a pond?
You could use a compound light microscope or a stereomicroscope.
Would you use the electron microscope or the compound microscope to look at cork?
---- You would use the light microscope. The electron microscope would be unnecessary in this situation, due to its high magnification levels.
What kind what microscopes would be better to see a virus. your options are compound light microscope Transmission Eltron Microscope Scanning Electron Microscope?
electron microscope
What type of microscope aside from the compound light microscopemight you use to observe the organisms found in pond water?
A dissecting microscope - this is used for larger organisms.
What microscopes show more detail?
An electron microscope would certainly show more detail than a compound microscope. An electron microscope can zoom up to 1,000,000x.
Which type of microscope would be best to use if you wanted to look at a living cell?
a compound light microscope your welcome nope it is transmission 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 microscope uses a magnetic field?
That would be an electron microscope - the magnets are used to deflect the electron beam.That would be an electron microscope - the magnets are used to deflect the electron beam.That would be an electron microscope - the magnets are used to deflect the electron beam.That would be an electron microscope - the magnets are used to deflect the electron beam.
What type of microscope would be best to use to look at different cells or organelles?
scanning electron microscope
What kind of microscope is found in most classrooms?
Optical, though to see smaller organelles and structures in higher resolution an electron microscope may be necessary.
What microscope is recommended to view a detailed structure of a cell nucleus?
an electron microscopean elctron microscope
What type of microscope do you use on a amoeba?
A standard optical microscope would be sufficient (as opposed to a scanning electron microscope)
