No, proteins are too small to be seen with a light microscope. They are typically smaller than the wavelength of light used in a light microscope, which limits the resolution to structures larger than approximately 200 nanometers. To visualize proteins, techniques such as electron microscopy or fluorescence microscopy are used.

What organelle is too small to see with the microscope?

Ribosomes are organelles that are too small to be seen with a light microscope as they are typically smaller than the resolution limit of light microscopes, which is around 200 nanometers. Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis in cells.


What is the differences between a compound and electron microscope?

The compound microscope is a light microscope that uses light to "see" microbes. Viruses are too small.The electron microscope uses electrons to "see" microbes or viruses.


What can be seen under a electron microscope but not a light microscope?

You can see a hair fiber well using an optical microscope, but you can hardly see a dimension 100 times smaller (about 10 microns). An electron microscope can review features as small as 10 nm, about 1/100000 th of a fiber.
