In visible light, this is impossible, as the molecule is smaller than the wavelength of visible light.
A water molecule is 0.1515 nanometers end to end, but the highest frequency violet light is 380 nanometers.
The only means of "visualizing" one is the scanning tunneling microscope, which uses measured electrical fields to determine the positions of atoms. The minimum magnification for microscope to see a water molecule would be about 1,000,000 times, but at 10,000,000 you could make out the structure.

Is a water molecule larger than a oil molecule?
no
What is the name of the magnification without resolution?
Empty Magnification
The process of breaking apart two bonds with water is called?
When certain molecular crystals are added to water, they are able to dissolve and break down into their original molecules, if they are affected by the interatomic hydrogen bonds that water induces. A simple answer: dissolving.
Is there a difference between 40x magnification and 100x magnification?
yes
Diameter of the field of view in millimeters when using the 4X objective?
five
What is the relationship between the size of the field of view and the magnification?
As you increase the magnification, the field of view decreases.
What is the relationship between the size of the field of view and magnification?
As you increase the magnification, the field of view decreases.
What is the relationship between magnification and the diameter of the field of view?
Magnification is inversely proportional to the diameter of the field of view.
What happens to the field of view in a compound in a compound light microscope when the total magnification is increased?
The field of view becomes smaller when magnification increases.
As the magnification increases what decreases in a microscope?
The visibility of the specimen decreases as the power of magnification increases on a microscope. The specimen area will shrink as the magnification is increased.
An increase in magnification causes what?
The increase in magnification cause a decrease in the field of view.
An increase in magnification causes?
The increase in magnification cause a decrease in the field of view.
Is the field of view brigther under low power or high power?
the view will be brighter under low power magnification...
What happens to Field of View when you change from low power to oil immersion high power?
The field of view is inversely related to the magnification power...the greater the magnification, the smaller the field of view
View of an object that can only be studied with magnification?
microscopic
What is the 'field of view'?
the field of view is what is seen under the microscope through the specific magnification
What is the total magnification if you view an object using a 40x objective lens and the eyepiece of the microscope is at 5x magnifying power?
The total magnification would be 200x, since the total magnification is the magnification of the objective lens X the magnification of the eyepiece.
