Are vacuoles visible under X magnification?

Answer 1

The central vacuole of plant cells are really hard to notice, because it makes up most of the cell. However, under a light microscope, it's possible to barely see the space between the cell wall and the central vacuole.

Answer 2

They can only be seen using an electron microscope. A transmission electron microscope can reach magnifications of up to 500,000 times that of a human eye and a thousand times the magnification of a compound microscope. The transmission electron microscope does not use a standard lens to complete its magnifications; instead, it uses a monochromatic beam of electrons passed through a magnetic field, which acts as a lens,

Answer 3

Vacuoles are typically visible under light microscopes at magnifications ranging from 40x to 400x, depending on the size and nature of the vacuoles. However, electron microscopes are often used to visualize vacuoles at a higher resolution due to their smaller size.
