How can you see part of a cell?

You can see parts of cells by microscopy.

A light microscope will reveal detail with a resolution down to about 0.2 micrometers. More detail becomes visible using various techniques, such as staining or phase contrast microscopy.

An electron microscope improves the resolution to about 2 nanometers. What is seen in an electron micrograph is the shadow left by heavy metal atoms in the stain, which has attached to cell structures.

What else can I help you with?
