Yes and no. There is a trick you can use to visually detect the presense of bacteria but all you will see is points of light, not the actual shape of the bacteria themselves. The trick is: * have the bacteria suspended in some transparent medium (water or air) * have a black back-drop * shine a bright source of light through the medium at right angles to your perspective * you will see bright points of light against the black back drop but not be able to resolve details.
Bacteria can only be seen with the aid of a microscope, as they are typically very small and not visible to the naked eye. A compound light microscope or an electron microscope is commonly used to observe and study bacteria.
Yes, most bacteria are too small to be seen with an ordinary light microscope. Bacteria are generally between 0.5 to 5 micrometers in size, which is below the resolution limit of a light microscope which is about 200 nanometers.
Bacteria that cannot be seen by a light microscope are typically smaller in size and require an electron microscope for visualization. Examples include species of Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Borrelia burgdorferi (cause of Lyme disease).
Yes, bacteria can be seen under a light microscope as they are larger than viruses. However, viruses are much smaller and cannot be seen with a light microscope. Specialized electron microscopes are required to visualize viruses.
Because the newly invented compound microscope's imagery was not as good. The compound microscope was less tiring on the eye, but with a little pain, more detail could be seen with the simple microscope.

The compound microscope is used to examine cells, bacteria, and other organisms
A compound microscope is used to magnify small objects such as algae, bacteria, diseases, etc.

the electron microscope is the only microscope with enough magnification to see the tiny viral cell, which is much smaller than bacteria and the human blood cells which can be seen with a compound light microscope
Yes, protists can be seen with a compound microscope as they are typically microscopic in size. Many protists, such as amoebas and paramecia, are within the resolution capabilities of a compound microscope, allowing them to be studied and observed at the cellular level.
a compound light microscope
The microscope used to discover bacteria was the light microscope, specifically the compound microscope. Anton van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, first observed bacteria through a simple microscope he created in the late 1600s.
Bacteria is the smallest thing that can be seen using a microscope.
Lots of tiny things, but it depends on how strong your microscope is.
