In a wet mount the microorganisms are hard to see because they blend in with their surroundings or the liquid they are grown in. An example of this would be in a hay broth where the water is cloudy and the microorganisms are transparent. However, if the microorganisms are being viewed as a stained preparation they will stand out and you will be able to see their size and shape much easier.
