These can only be seen under an electron microscope- ordinary microscopes don't have the power to see anything so tiny.

Electron microscopes don't actually see the thing itself, but instead they bombard it with a shower of electron particles to create an imprint of it. This can then be magnified to show the detail of the object. The electron microscope was developed in Germany during WW2, and the technology was adopted and developed by the Allied nations following Hitler's defeat.

How does a microscope allow the viewer to see very small objects?

A microscope uses lenses to magnify the image of small objects, allowing them to be seen in greater detail than with the naked eye. Light is focused through the lens onto the object, and then to the eyepiece or camera for observation. The magnification and resolution of the microscope determine how small and detailed the objects can be seen.
