only at the time of cell division in the metaphase and in the anaphase the chromosome are visible. because at this time the chromatin get aggregate and form the thick chromosome which are visible under microscope.

What substance can be see when the cell divide under light microscope?

DNA in the form of chromosomes and sister chromatids (which are identical replicated chromosomes).


Can you see chromosomes with a light microscope during cell cycle?

NO light microscope can not magnify the image to see chromosomes. You can see with fluorescence microscopes to observe them during cell cycle. Light microscope is helpful to check the whole living cell.


What structure you can see in plant cell under the microscope light?

You can see chloroplasts and a nucleus under a light microscope.

You can see chloroplasts using a light microscope. See related link for proof.


Types of microorganisms can be seen in a light microscope?

Bacteria are the smallest of microorganisms that are visible under a light microscope. A light microscope can see things as small as 0.2 micrometres!


Is cytoplasm visible with a light microscope?

The cytoplasm is somewhat clear when looking through a light microscope. However you can see where the cytoplasm is. You can see cell walls and cell membranes through a light microscope, the spaces in between these lines is cytoplasm.


What do they do in cytogenetics lab?

Cytogeneticists prepare mitotic cells in samples and stain the chromosomes for visual examinations under the microscope to see if there is any abnormalities in the number of chromosomes and/ or in the structure of the chromosomes.


When can you see DNA?

Chromosomes become visible (under a microscope) during prophase. At other times DNA is generally difficult to see.


Why do the chromosomes become easier to see under the microscope just before mitosis?

during mitosis and meiosis because the condensed chromosomes are thicker and therefore more prominent.


In what part of the cell cycle will you see chromatin and not chromosomes?

telophase. in this phase the chromosome disperse and you can't see the chromosome anymore throught the light microscope.


Can you see bacteria with viruses under microscope?

Yes, bacteria can be seen under a light microscope as they are larger than viruses. However, viruses are much smaller and cannot be seen with a light microscope. Specialized electron microscopes are required to visualize viruses.


What type of microscope would you need to see detailed images of an internal structure of a bacterium a light microscope or an electron microscope?

Bacteria are generally very small - so you would need an electron microscope to see them in any detail. Under a light microscope you would probably only be able to see the overall shape.
