A compound light microscope is commonly used to view cells. It uses multiple lenses to magnify small objects and can provide detailed images of cellular structures. Transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes are also used to view cells at higher magnifications.

What type of microscope would you use to see the parts of a cell?

You would use a light microscope to see the parts of a cell. This type of microscope uses light to magnify the structures within a cell, allowing you to visualize organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and cell membrane.


If you wanted to see a cell wall were would you look?

To see a cell wall, you would need to use a microscope and look at plant cells, fungi, or bacteria. The cell wall is a rigid outer layer that surrounds the cell membrane and provides structure and support to the cell.


What type of microscope would be best to use if you wanted to look at the parts inside of a cell?

A transmission electron microscope (TEM) would be best for looking at the internal structures of a cell.TEM uses a beam of electrons to produce a detailed image of cell structures with high resolution around 0.1 nm.


What kind of microscope would a scientist use to determine the shape of a cell?

A scientist would use a light microscope to determine the size and shape of a cell. A light microscope uses visible light to illuminate the object being viewed. Light microscopy is used to observe the overall size and shape of a cell. An electron microscope is used to observe the structure and contents of a cell, including membrane-bound organelles.


If a scientist wants to look at a small living cell should the scientist use a compound light microscope or an electron microscope?

For viewing a small living cell, an electron microscope would be more suitable as it provides higher resolution necessary to see detailed structures within the cell such as organelles. Compound light microscopes may not have enough magnification power to observe these structures in depth without damaging the cell.
