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 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!
Bacteria were first seen in 1683 but viruses were not seen until 1938why?
Viruses were too small to be seen in a microscope so they were not identified till the 1930s.
Can mycoplasmas be studied with the light microscope?
mycoplamas can be seen under light microscope
What cell structure could not be seen until the electron microscope was invented?
viruses
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.

Why couldn't you see a virus with your microscope even if you increased the eyepiece lens to magnification to 100x?

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 is the differences between a compound and electron microscope?
The compound microscope is a light microscope that uses light to "see" microbes. Viruses are too small.The electron microscope uses electrons to "see" microbes or viruses.
What type of microscope can be used to study a viruses?
As viruses cannot be seen with the optical microscope, electron microscopes are used. All the "lenses" in an electron microscope are magnetic fields produced by electromagnets and/or electrostatic fields produced by electrically charged metal plates and/or rings.
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 were scientist unable to study the structure of viruses until after the electron microscope was invented?
Viruses are so very small that they couldn't be seen by even the best light microscope. All people had to go by was the effects that they saw not the things causing the effects.

Viruses were too small to be seen in a microscope so they were not identified till the 1930s.
