The first microscope used to observe oxygen was the optical microscope, which uses visible light to magnify objects. Oxygen itself cannot be seen under a microscope, but its effects on other substances can be observed. More advanced microscopes like electron microscopes can provide detailed images of oxygen-containing molecules.

Would you use a stereomicroscope or compound light microscope or electron microscope to see a virus?

A virus of 50nm would be too small to see unless an electron microscope was used because it has greater resolving power and a resolution up to .1nm. A microscope using compound light as the means of illumination could not resolve better than approx. 200nms.


What is the instrument used in studying cells?

Microscope is the instrument used in studying cells, allowing scientists to view cells in detail and observe their structure and function. Different types of microscopes, such as light microscopes and electron microscopes, are used depending on the level of detail needed for the study.


Some proteins within a cell can be viewed with a. naked eye b. an electron microscope c.light microscope d. none of the choices are correct?

B. an electron microscope, Because an electron microscope is more detailed and lets you see smaller and more complex things than the light microscope. And proteins are too small to see by the naked eye.


How powerful of a microscope do you need to see a atom?

You cannot see an atom visually with a microscope. They're smaller (quite a bit smaller, actually) than visual light waves. The instrument that's used to "see" atoms is called a scanning tunneling microscope, but it doesn't use visible light, it uses electrical potentials and the pictures are generated by computer processing of the data.


What test is used to see how much oxygen is taken in with every heartbeat?

The test used to measure how much oxygen is taken in with every heartbeat is called pulse oximetry. This test estimates the oxygen saturation levels in the blood by measuring the absorption of infrared light in pulsating blood.
