Probably. Otherwise we wouldn't know about it. Don't you think?

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 do things that are to small for a light microscope get viewed by?

Things that are too small for a light microscope, such as viruses and molecules, can be viewed using an electron microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify objects at a much higher resolution than light microscopes.


Can you see bacteria with viruses under microscope?

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.


What microscope can observe a virus?

An electron microscope can observe viruses due to its high magnification capabilities that allow for visualizing extremely small structures like viruses, which are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) are commonly used types of electron microscopes for observing viruses.


What organic molecules exist in all viruses?

All viruses contain genetic material, which is typically composed of either DNA or RNA. Additionally, viruses have a protein coat called a capsid that encloses the genetic material. Some viruses also have an outer lipid membrane envelope derived from the host cell.

Types of microorganisms can be seen in a light microscope?

Common types of microorganisms that can be seen under a light microscope include bacteria, yeast, algae, and protozoa. These microorganisms are relatively larger and can be observed with a brightfield microscope at higher magnifications. Viruses, which are much smaller, typically require an electron microscope for visualization.


Which cellular components could NOT be seen with a compound microscope?

Organelles such as ribosomes, lysosomes, and microfilaments are too small to be visible with a compound microscope. Additionally, viruses and molecules are also not visible with this type of microscope.


What is bigger molecule or virus?

Molecules are generally smaller than viruses. Molecules are composed of atoms bonded together, while viruses are much larger structures made of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat.


Can you see a viroids pathogen in a light microscope?

Viroids are smaller than viruses and cannot be seen using a light microscope as they lack a protein coat. They are typically detected using molecular techniques like PCR.


Do you need a microscope to see viruses?

Yes, viruses are much smaller than bacteria and cannot be seen with the naked eye. They require a microscope, such as an electron microscope, to be visualized.


Viruses can be observed using an?

microscope or for more detail an electron microscope


What is the differences between a compound and electron microscope?

The compound microscope is a light microscope that uses light to "see" microbes. Viruses are too small.The electron microscope uses electrons to "see" microbes or viruses.

What thing cannot be viewed in compound microscope?

Viruses. They are smaller than the average wavelength of light and as such are not viewable unless an electron microscope is used.

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.


What is the use of hand lever in the microscope?

the hand lever is the part of microscope.... the microscope need to see the small things or viruses....
