The smallest objects visible by an ordinary light microscope are typically around 200 nanometers in size. Objects smaller than this, such as viruses and individual molecules, require more powerful microscopes like electron microscopes.
The smallest structures visible with a light microscope are typically around 200 nanometers in size. This includes some organelles like mitochondria and small bacteria. Anything smaller would require an electron microscope for visualization.
The smallest thing visible under a light microscope is around 200 nanometers, but this can vary depending on the quality of the microscope and the technique used. To view objects smaller than 200 nanometers, electron microscopes are typically used.
The smallest structure visible with a light microscope is around 200 nanometers, which is the limit of resolution for light microscopes. This means that structures smaller than 200 nanometers cannot be resolved with a standard light microscope.
The smallest diameter of a cell that can be resolved by a light microscope is typically around 0.2 micrometers, which is the limit of resolution due to the wavelength of visible light. Structures that are smaller than this limit will appear blurry or indistinct under a light microscope.
The purpose of a microscope is to magnify and resolve tiny objects or structures that are not visible to the naked eye. The principle of a microscope is based on the interaction of light waves or electrons with the specimen to produce a magnified image for observation and analysis.
A common term for an ordinary microscope is a light microscope, which uses visible light to illuminate and magnify specimens for observation.

Because the smallest wavelength of visible light we can see is around 400 nm. Something 200 nm would need an electron microscope to be seen.
The smallest particle that can be seen with a light microscope is about 0. 2 microns. If an object is smaller than that, the light's wavelength cannot traverse it causing it to fall out of the visible spectrum.
I'm guessing you mean the electron microscope. The EM does the same thing an ordinary visible light microscope does which is allows the viewer to see very tiny things. But the EM allows the viewer to see things that are way smaller than the smallest objects the ordinary microscope can see. The electron microscope allows us to see those way smaller objects because the electro-magnetic waves that the electron microscope uses to illuminate the target object we want to view are orders of magnitude shorter than visible light waves. And a rule of physics is that whatever object we want to see can only be seen when the illuminating waves are shorter than the object's size.
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.
The smallest structure visible with a light microscope is around 200 nanometers, which is the limit of resolution for light microscopes. This means that structures smaller than 200 nanometers cannot be resolved with a standard light microscope.
The world's smallest microscope is a miniature lensless microscope for telemedicine application. It weighs 46 grams.
The smallest diameter of a cell that can be resolved by a light microscope is typically around 0.2 micrometers, which is the limit of resolution due to the wavelength of visible light. Structures that are smaller than this limit will appear blurry or indistinct under a light microscope.
No. Vaccinia is "large" ... for a virus, which still means "tiny" compared to any ordinary human scale. The smallest things visible to the naked eye are on the order of 10-4 m; vaccinia is well under 10-6 m ... over a hundred times too small to see. It's just barely larger than the smallest thing visible with an optical microscope
Bacteria is the smallest thing that can be seen using a microscope.
