NO, a golgi apparatus can not be seen under a light microscope, it is one of the hardest organelles to see. It is not the size, but rather its lack of staining in contrast to the surrounding cell. Electron microscopes; however, pick up rather nice pictures of it. Both Scanning and Transmission can; however a transmission electron microscope (TEM) is particularly useful in viewing the multi-layers of this pancake looking organelle.

What else can I help you with?
What organelles can be seen using a light microscope?
Organelles that can be seen using a light microscope include the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts (in plant cells), Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuoles. These organelles are typically larger in size and have distinct structures that can be visualized using a light microscope, which has a lower magnification power compared to electron microscopes. Staining techniques can also be used to enhance the visibility of organelles under a light microscope.
What organelles can be seen under microscope?
Organelles that can be seen under a microscope include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and chloroplasts (in plant cells). These organelles can be visualized using different staining techniques and microscopy methods, such as light microscopy or electron microscopy.
Which organelles are visible under an electron microscope but not under a light microscope?
Organelles like ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus are visible under an electron microscope but not under a light microscope due to their smaller size and lack of observable detail at the resolution of a light microscope.
The nucleus of a cell can be viewed through what kind of microscope?
An Electron Microscope is used to study the contents of a nucleus.
Name organelles that are visible in the cell?
Some organelles that are visible in the cell include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and vacuoles. These organelles can be observed under a light microscope due to their size and distinct structures.
Origin of the name of Golgi apparatus?
Camillo Golgi, an Italian physician, was studying the nervous system, in 1897, when he discovered a unique cellular structure in a sample under his light microscope. Upon further investigation, he named this structure the internal reticular apparatus. In 1898, he publicly announced his discovery, and the structure was named after him, becoming universally known as the Golgi apparatus.
Why golgi apparatus is absent in blue green algae?
Golgi apparatus is absent in blue green algae because they do not grow where there is no light.
What organelles can be seen using a light microscope?
Organelles that can be seen using a light microscope include the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts (in plant cells), Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuoles. These organelles are typically larger in size and have distinct structures that can be visualized using a light microscope, which has a lower magnification power compared to electron microscopes. Staining techniques can also be used to enhance the visibility of organelles under a light microscope.
What do things that are to small for a light microscope get viewed by?
Things that are too small for a light microscope, such as viruses and molecules, can be viewed using an electron microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify objects at a much higher resolution than light microscopes.
What organelles can be seen under microscope?
Organelles that can be seen under a microscope include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and chloroplasts (in plant cells). These organelles can be visualized using different staining techniques and microscopy methods, such as light microscopy or electron microscopy.
When a onion cell is stained with iodine which organelles are you not able to see under a compound light microscope?
Under a compound light microscope, you would not be able to see specific organelles like the lysosomes, peroxisomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus in an onion cell stained with iodine. These organelles are typically smaller and/or transparent, making them difficult to visualize with this type of microscope.
Which organelles are visible under an electron microscope but not under a light microscope?
Organelles like ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus are visible under an electron microscope but not under a light microscope due to their smaller size and lack of observable detail at the resolution of a light microscope.
What is the appearance of an image viewed in the light microscope?
they appear back wards
Can you see light through a microscope?
Yes, light passes through a microscope to illuminate the specimen, allowing it to be viewed. The light is focused by lenses in the microscope to create a magnified image of the specimen.
The nucleus of a cell can be viewed through what kind of microscope?
An Electron Microscope is used to study the contents of a nucleus.
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.
How objects look different when viewed through the light microscope?
Objects appear magnified and clearer when viewed through a light microscope due to the lenses that focus light to create an enlarged image. The microscope allows for detailed examination of the specimen's structure and features not visible to the naked eye. The use of specialized stains or dyes can enhance contrast and visibility of specific parts of the object being observed.
