Best Answer

sometimes the nucleus. To see the nucleus, you may have to stain the sample. Plastids (only found in plant cells) are visible too, along with the cell wall, the cell membrane, and the mitochondria.

Cell Wall, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Mitochondria (with staining), Nucleus, Vacuole, Nucleolus and Cytoskeleton. The rest need a higher resolution to be visible to the naked eye, thus the electron microscope is used.

with a light microscope, usually only the nucleus and the cell wall would be visible.

Which virus can be seen by light microscope?

None can. They have to be seen using a electron microscope.


Why are some of the cell organelles not clear in the structure of the cells observed under microscope?

It is not possible to see organelles with a compound light microscope because some organelles are to small to be seen with the low magnification of the light microscope. If they can not be seen through the compound microscope they are normally looked at through the electron microscopes (transmission electron microscope {TEM} or scanning electron microscope {SEM}).


Can the eukaryotic nucleus be seen with an light microscope?

The density of the nucleus can be seen using the light microscope, because the light microscope enlarges or makes the nucleus bigger.

nucleus


Why ribosome is unable to be seen using a ligt microscope?

ribosomes are not seen by using a light microscope bcz of its small size


Are ribosomes the largest organelles?

noThey are very small.Can be seen only using electron microscope


Why are such a limited number of organelles observed when viewing the plant and animal cells under the microscope?

Most organelles are very small and require a magnification greater than the x1500 available using a light microscope. An electron microscope is required for greater magnification and resolution. Therefore a small area of the slide is avalible.


Is a virus smaller than an organelle?

That depends on the Organelle. Some Organelles can be seen with a light microscope, Viruses can not.


What type of microscope is used to show the fine detail of cell organelles as well as a spindle figured fibers and chromosomes as seen during anaphase?

compound light microscope


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

An electron microscope has a much higher magnifying power and resolution than a regular light microscope. One can visualize molecules and even atoms using an electron microscope. This is not possible with a light microscope


What does DNA pictures under a microscope?

That is when the DNA is condensed, at which time it is called chromosome.


Why not all organelles can be stained and see under microscope?

They have to be able to accept the dye being used. So, if you knew which dyes work on different organelles, you might be able to see them. Also, most organelles are too small to be seen with a light microscope.
