Because Viruses are very small... Even smaller than bacteria... They are so small that they cannot be seen by any ordinary light microscope ! hence You Need To Use An Electron Microscope!

What microscope is used to see a flu virus?
The electron microscope is used to view things such as viruses as they are to small to be seen on a light microscope
What organisms cannot be viewed by using the compound microscope?
Viruses. They are smaller than the average wavelength of light and as such are not viewable unless an electron microscope is used.
What microscope is used to discover cells?
Light microscope were used to discover cells
Why light microscope is used to view the living organisms?
because if any other were to be used, the organism wil die or it must be dead first.
One cell structure that cannot be seen with light microscopy?
Anything that is smaller than the wavelength of light, thatmeans that it is smaller than light and therefore is not visible, at all, to know it exists an electron microscope must be used which captures a reflection of the object a scanning electron microscope uses a computer to make the image
What microscope is used to see a flu virus?
The electron microscope is used to view things such as viruses as they are to small to be seen on a light microscope
What type of microscope could be used to study virus?
An electron microscope can be used to view viruses. Scientists can use a negative stain to view bacteria and different types viruses.
What type of microscope could be used to study a virus?
Its an electron microscope.It might be scanning electron microscope or TEM
What type of microscope can be used to study a viruses?
As viruses cannot be seen with the optical microscope, electron microscopes are used. All the "lenses" in an electron microscope are magnetic fields produced by electromagnets and/or electrostatic fields produced by electrically charged metal plates and/or rings.
What thing cannot be viewed in compound microscope?
Viruses. They are smaller than the average wavelength of light and as such are not viewable unless an electron microscope is used.
What organisms cannot be viewed by using the compound microscope?
Viruses. They are smaller than the average wavelength of light and as such are not viewable unless an electron microscope is used.
Why would you use telescope to look at the stars instead of microscope?
A microscope isn't used for navigating/exploring the universe. A microscope is for looking at germs, viruses etc. A telescope is able to look at the sky. A microscope is used in science labs. Not use for space explorering.
What color do viruses have?
---- The above statement is incorrect. Viruses, like all microorganisms, have no colour. The "colour" we see when we view photographs of them are due to graphical enhancement from the microscope that they used.
Would you use a stereomicroscope or compound light microscope or electron microscope to see a virus?
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.
What is microscope?
a microscope is an instrument which is used for viewing the things/organisms in detail which can not be seen by a naked eye.
What microscope is used to discover cells?
Light microscope were used to discover cells
What is a shop microscope?
A shop microscope is a small microscope used in a microscope laboratory. They are also used in electronics production facilities.
