What is the smallest particle visible under light microscope?
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.
How does an object appear under the microscope?
i assume you mean what does soenthing put in viewing area of a microscope it will magnify that object
What Reflects light through the object viewed under the microscope?
The Mirror
What can be seen under a electron microscope but not a light microscope?
You can see a hair fiber well using an optical microscope, but you can hardly see a dimension 100 times smaller (about 10 microns). An electron microscope can review features as small as 10 nm, about 1/100000 th of a fiber.
Do any smooth surfaces look uneven though the magnifying lens?
Under a microscope, especially an electron microscope, just about any surface has miniscule irregularities in it which will eventually show up under intense magnification.
Can really be an electron seen under microscope?
only under an electron microscope wiki it

What was the first object to be seen under the microscope?
The first object to be seen under the microscope was poo.
What can be seen under a electron microscope and not a light microscope?
An electron microscope has a much higher magnifying power and resolution than a regular light microscope. One can visualize molecules and even atoms using an electron microscope. This is not possible with a light microscope
What is the smallest thing that you can look at under a microscope?
megapixel
What do you look at under a microscope?
an object
What is the electron microscope used for?
The electron microscope is used to see cells and other miniscule objects that are too small for light microscopes. It shoots electrons to detect the shape of the object viewed under the microscope. It can magnify up to 2 million times, while the best of light microscopes are confined to about 2000 times.
What is the main disadvantage of the electron microscope over a compound microscope?
You can only view non-living things under the electron microscope, while with the compound you can view living organisms
Why are individual cells not visible under an electron microscope?
because the microscope magnifies the cell to much.

Complete detail of living cell is detectable under which microscope?
electron
What is smallest a skin cell a virus or a freckle?
A virus is the smallest because you can see a freckle with naked eye and you can see a skin cell under ordinary light microcope but viruses are ultramicroscopic and cannot be seen under light microcope. Instead a virus can only be seen under high resolution electron microscope.
