all i know is that the ribosomes cant be seen and i dont think mitochondrion can be seen either... help me out people! The electronic microscope provides a 3-D vision on the speciman.

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}).
Is flagella viewable through an electron microscop or a light microscope?
Eukaryotic flagella are visible through a light microscope. Bacterial flagella are only visible with a light microscope if they are specially stained with a mordant and a flagella stain.
What kind of microscope can be used to study organelles?
A light microscope is sufficient to see the shape of the cell and it's nucleus. However to see the smaller organelles, you would want to use an electron microscope.
What do you use a electron microscope for?
To see atoms or other extremely small things that you can not see in a light microscope. Even with an electron microscope, atoms are still barely visible.
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.
How does an electron microscope differs from a light microscope?
The light microscope use the visible light; the electron microscope use an electrons beam.
What organelle in a cheek cell are not visible under a light microscope?
The organelles in a cheek cell that are not visible under a light microscope are the ribosomes. These organelles are responsible for protein synthesis.
What scientific tool do you use to observe organelles?
Either a light microscope or an electron microscope can allow you to observe cell organelles.
Explain the difference between a light scanning and electron microscope?
A scanning electron microscope will scan the surface and an electron microscope looks inside.
State how an electron microscope differs from a light microscope?
An electron microscope bombards its target with electrons, while a traditional microscope uses visible light. Electrons can be resolved at considerably higher magnifications that visible light (due to their smaller wavelength).

How does the electrons microscope work?
An electron microscope use a beam of electrons instead visible light as source of illumination.
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.
What are the uses of an electron microscope?
viewing objects too small to be seen with visible light.
