Bacteria can only be seen with?
a microscope because the bacteria is so small
What type of microscope would you need to see detailed images of an internal structure of a bacterium a light microscope or an electron microscope?
Bacteria are generally very small - so you would need an electron microscope to see them in any detail. Under a light microscope you would probably only be able to see the overall shape.
What do things that are to small for a light microscope get viewed by?
An electron microscope.
What is too small to be seen with an ordinary microscope A plant cells B animal cells C bacteria D viruses?
Generally viruses are smaller than bacteria, which are themselves smaller than animal and plant cells. Therefore D is the smallest and is least likely to be visible using an ordinary microscope. See related links for an interactive scale of cells, from the macroscopic to the microscopic, down to a single carbon atom.
Characteristic of bacteria?
1.bacteria are 1 micrometer wide. 2.Many often cause diseases. 3.Bacteria have peptidoglycan cell wall. 4. only seen by an power light 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!
Types of microorganisms can be seen in a light microscope?
Bacteria are the smallest of microorganisms that are visible under a light microscope. A light microscope can see things as small as 0.2 micrometres!
Are bacteria too small to see without a microscope?
Bacteria are too small to see without a microscope. WAY too small.
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)

How small is bactirea?
Bacteria is microscopic(u need a microscope)
What is the of a powerful microscope?
to look at very small obects and bacteria
How does the electron microscope permit scientists to see viruses?
Viruses are very small and can be considered ultramicroscopic. We were not able to see them with the best light microscopes as we could bacteria (prokaryotes). We have to use an electron microscope to see them as they are that small. This was not available until recently.
What is the use of a powerful microscope?
to look at very small obects and bacteria
