What is the smallest microorganism that can only be seen through electron microscope?
A Virus called Prion was considered the smallest microorganism until recently. Though the microorganism hasn't been named yet biologists are pretty positive that it is the smallest microorganism. Follow the related link and take a look at the article.
What affect does salt have on microorganisms?
Salt would leech all the water out a microorganism therefore killing it.
Which microscope would be best use if you wanted to look at the life in a drop of pond water?
A compound light microscope.
Which microscope is best used for looking at organisms in a drop of pond water?
A compound microscope would be best if you want to see all the organisms in that drop. A simple microscope would not allow you to see as much.
What type of microscope would be best to view moldy bread?
Update to last answer by "bugs": We would use a light microscope. Bread does have electrons (all matter has electrons), however the fungal growths that cause mould are an appropriate size to be seen under the light microscope. We only use electron microscopy when the item is too small to be seen under a light microscope. For example, if we wanted to see the mitochondria of a cell, we could not see it under a light microscope as it is too small to practically zoom into, so we use electron microscopy as it gives us a better resolution image. Electron microscopy has nothing to do with the electron content of the sample. It is in the operation of the device. The device scans the sample with an electron beam. The electron content of the sample doesn't matter, although all matter does have electrons (unlike as stated in the above answer). // Lab Demonstrator Initial answer: i think it would be a flourescence microscope because it doesnt have electrons or sumthin like that. i honestly am not sure. but heres MY answer. --bugs.//

What is a microscope slide and what is it used for?
A microscope slide is a small rectangular piece of glass that the sample (the thing you're looking at) is placed on for observation. Generally, the sample is next covered with a cover strip (a small piece of plastic, used to keep the sample from sliding). The slide makes it possible to look at the sample. Otherwise, the sample would fall into the microscope light, which would be a little inconvenient.
If a scientist wanted to count how many bacterial cells were in a drop of a liquid sample which type of microscope would she most likely use?
Modern light microscope
Are microorganisms easy to see?
no because microorganisms are single celled meaning they are made o only one cell. you would need a microscope to see a microorganism.
Explain why the sample to be seen through a microscope cant be thick?
the light from the lamp below the table would not get through the sample, meaning it could not be seen or analysed.
How would you obtain clear water from a sample of muddy water?
we can get clear water from a given sample of a muddy water by the method of decantation.
If you examined a sample of sea water under a microscope you might observe tiny shelled organisms often used to add luster to fingernail polish or paint What group would you be observing?
Diatoms

Why a cover slip is very important in microscope examination?
A cover slip helps preserve the environment you are observing. It also helps maintain a clean environment for the microscope lens and prevent samples from contaminating the lens, and perhaps contaminating the next sample. So, if you are looking at water, the cover slip will flatten out the bubble of water and trap it there for an extended period of time. At high magnification, you may add a drop of oil between the glass and the lens. The cover slip would prevent the oil (or water) from interacting with your sample, and will keep it clean. A cover slip isn't vital though. Sometimes one wishes to interact with the sample while under microscope. For example using a microscope to stick micro-pipettes into living neural tissue on a slide.
Which microscope would be most useful for quickly estimating the number of red blood cells in a patient's blood sample?
compound light
