Which microscope should be ued for a virus is 50nm in size and why?

A virus of 50nm would be too small to see unless an electron microscope was used because it has greater resolving power and a resolution up to .1nm. A microscope using compound light as the means of illumination could not resolve better than approx. 200nms.

How big is an individual virion of influenza virus?
Approximately 130 nanometers for average. Size varies by specific virus, however, and influenza viruses can range from 10 to 300 nanometers. The nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter. They are about 1/100th the size of bacteria. Most are "nano" size and too miniscule to be seen with a regular light microscope, so electron microscopes need to be used to visualize the virus particles.
What is the diameter of a cold virus?
They vary significantly depending on the type of virus, however, viruses are sub-microscopic and require an electron microscope to visualize and very very tiny compared to the size of bacteria. For example: The swine flu viruses (including Novel H1N1 2009 Swine Flu) are very similar in structure to all Influenza Type A viruses. They are also very similar in size to most viruses. They are about 1/100th the size of bacteria. Most are "nano" size and too miniscule to be seen with a regular light microscope, so electron microscopes need to be used to visualize the virus particles. When measured they have a diameter of 10 to 300 nanometers. The nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter.
Why ribosome is unable to be seen using a ligt microscope?
ribosomes are not seen by using a light microscope bcz of its small size
How virus differ from cell in size?
Viruses are MUCH smaller than cells in size.
If an object can be magnified 100 200 or 1000 times when viewed under a microscope does the objects actual size change with the magnification Explain why?
No, the actual size never changes - only the APPARENT size, due to the magnification provided by the lenses of the microscope.
A virus is 50 nanometers in size which of microscope should be used to view it?
The electron microscope.
What type of microscope would use to view a virus 50 nm in size?
Transmission elctron microscope
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
When drawing from a microscope what should be included in your picture?
Everyhting you see in the microscope and especcialy what you are supposed to see. You should make a note of what you are looking at and which magnitute you are using to give the viewer sence of the actual size of the object.

What is low power objective for a microscope?
The lower power objective for the microscope is the small lense on the microscope. The size usuall ranges at 4x on the microscope.
What does a microscope measure?
a microscope measures the size of an object (example: how big an blood cell is)
What was the size and the weight of the microscope?
it is 2 grams
What is the size of a virus in scientific notation?
o.ooo1 (Influenza Virus)
How does the size of a virus compare with the size of a bacterium?
A virus is much much much smaller then a bacterium. Virus called phage can infect bacteria.
