Anything that is smaller than the wavelength of light, thatmeans that it is smaller than light and therefore is not visible, at all, to know it exists an electron microscope must be used which captures a reflection of the object a scanning electron microscope uses a computer to make the image

What kind of microscope would a scientist use to determine the shape of a cell?
A scientist would use a light microscope to determine the size and shape of a cell. A light microscope uses visible light to illuminate the object being viewed. Light microscopy is used to observe the overall size and shape of a cell. An electron microscope is used to observe the structure and contents of a cell, including membrane-bound organelles.
What are the techniques used to study cell structure and function?
Cells are observed under the microscope, using several different techniques. Three of these techniques are cell culture, immunostaining and computational genomics.
What is a subcellular structure?
a subcellular structure is simply structures within a cell. They are smaller than a cell and commonly means within a cell. They are individual components of a cell that when put together forms a complete cell. Subcellular structures can only be seen by an electron microscope, either SEM or TEM microscopy. Examples of subcellular structures are organelles ("little organs")- Golgi apparatus, smooth+rough endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and mitochondria.
What is the outermost structure of a plant cell?
The outermost structure of a plant cell is a cell wall. Plant cells have cell walls for extra protection as they cannot move like animals and protists, whose outermost cell structure is the cell membrane, a thinner protective cover.
Which technique can show that the cell membrane has two layers?
Transmission electron microscopy
Introduction in basic techniques in microscopy?
Introduction to basic techniques in microscopy involves light microscopy, laser scanning, types of dyes, the cell, electron microscopy, differential interface microscopy, histological stains and histochemical stains.
What kinds of biological questions are addressed using a combination of light microscopy and cell fractionation?
Cell biology

How is sickle cell anemia detected?
Through blood sample testing employing light microscopy. The cells are visibly abnormal compared with a normal healthy cell.
What are the techniques used to study cell structure and function?
Cells are observed under the microscope, using several different techniques. Three of these techniques are cell culture, immunostaining and computational genomics.
Cell fractionation and light microscopy can be used to study various organelles What types of information could each technique provide?
SEM
What is a neurofibril?
A neurofibril is a fibril found in the cytoplasm of a neuron and is only visible by light microscopy. Its function is to give support and shape the nerve cell.
Is a cell larger than a organelle?
No an organelle is a structure within a cell. It cannot be larger than the cell it is inside of.

Gram stain of lymes disease?
Lyme Disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. This is a spirochete bacterium with a gram negative cell wall structure. These organisms are best viewed by dark-field microscopy.
Which technique can show that the cell membrane has two layers?
Transmission electron microscopy
