No, ribosomes are too small to be seen with a light microscope. They are typically around 20-30 nanometers in size, which is below the resolution limit of a light microscope. Special techniques such as electron microscopy are needed to visualize ribosomes.

Why can't ribosomes be seen under a light microscope?

Mitochondria are visible as a granular background in mitochondria-rich cells, but are too small to be seen individually. Each individual ribosomes is too small to see. They are also much smaller than mitochondria.

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 can you observe under a light microscope?

Under a light microscope, you can observe small objects such as cells, bacteria, and other microorganisms. The microscope uses light to magnify these objects, allowing you to see them in detail.


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.


What type of microscope would allow the viewer to see ribosomes inside a cell?

An electron microscope would allow the viewer to see ribosomes inside a cell. This type of microscope uses a beam of electrons to image the specimen at a very high resolution, enabling visualization of cellular structures like ribosomes.

Can you see bacteria with viruses under microscope?

Yes, bacteria can be seen under a light microscope as they are larger than viruses. However, viruses are much smaller and cannot be seen with a light microscope. Specialized electron microscopes are required to visualize viruses.

Is cytoplasm visible with a light microscope?

The cytoplasm is somewhat clear when looking through a light microscope. However you can see where the cytoplasm is. You can see cell walls and cell membranes through a light microscope, the spaces in between these lines is cytoplasm.


How are we able to see cells under a microscope?

Cells can be seen under a microscope because they are transparent and the microscope uses lenses to magnify and focus light on the cells, making them visible to the human eye.
