Why are such a limited number of organelles observed when viewing the plant and animal cells under the microscope?

Most organelles are very small and require a magnification greater than the x1500 available using a light microscope. An electron microscope is required for greater magnification and resolution. Therefore a small area of the slide is avalible.

It isn't possible to see some organelles with a compound microscope because they are too small.
Electron Microscope: This microscope uses beams of electrons instead of beams of light (compound microscope). The electron microscope has more magnifying power than a compound light microscope.
Organelles that can only be seen with an electron microscope include:
-Mitochondria
-Ribosomes
-Endoplasmic Reticulum
-Golgi apparatus
-Lysosomes

What does the microscope rest on?
In compound microscopes for use for viewing thin sections at high power, specimens are mounted on a microscope slide and covered with a coverslip and are placed on the microscope stage or base plate. In stereomicroscopes the same is done however for large objects such as rocks or minerals no microscope slide is required the object to be observed is placed directly on the stage.
What is dissecting?
A dissection microscope is called a stereoscopic microscope. It has low magnification that is useful for viewing large, thick objects.
Explain why it is necessary to cut a very thin section of a plant root before it is observed under a microscope?
Maybe to have a clearer visual on the plant cells it contains. Basically the light must be able to shine through the object you are viewing and besides when it is not think it wont hold into the microscope clear square thing.
Is a microscope a type of science or device?
A device for viewing microscopic things.
When viewing an object through the high-power objective of a microscope not all of the objeect may be in focus why?
The object may be 3D. If it is, not everything inside the object will be focussed. For example, if you look at a plant cell, the focus must be changed to look at the different organelles.
What is the purpose of staining a cell when viewing it under the microscope?
This is so we are easily able to see and differentiate the organelles when examining the cell under a microscope.
On what microscope platform is a slide placed for viewing?
The microscope stage is the platform on which a slide is placed for viewing.
On what flat microscope platform is an object placed for viewing?
The flat microscope platform is on which an object is placed for viewing is called the stage.
What microscope enables the viewing of fine internal structural details of cells?
Electron microscope
What do in need for viewing sperm cells?
Sperm and a microscope.
When viewing object in microscope?
This is not a question, you need to rephrase it.
What is the medical term meaning viewing things with the microscope?
Microscopy is the term meaning viewing things with a microscope. Microscopy can be used in hematology, urinalysis, and pathology, among others.
Which type of microscope allows the viewing of living cells?
scanning tunneling electron microscope, or STM
