What kind of microscope do you need to see particles?

To see particles, such as individual cells or microorganisms, you would typically need a light microscope. However, to see smaller particles like viruses or nanoparticles, you would need an electron microscope.


What can be seen under a electron microscope but not a light microscope?

You can see a hair fiber well using an optical microscope, but you can hardly see a dimension 100 times smaller (about 10 microns). An electron microscope can review features as small as 10 nm, about 1/100000 th of a fiber.


How much more powerful is electron microscope than the light microscope?

An electron microscope is significantly more powerful than a light microscope as it uses a beam of electrons instead of light to view specimens. This allows for much higher magnification and resolution, making it possible to see smaller details in the sample. Electron microscopes have a resolution that is up to 1000 times higher than that of light microscopes.


What is the difference between stage micrometer and ocular micrometer?

Ocular micrometers are see-through disks with a ruler in them that go in the eypiece of a microscope to measure what you are seeing. Stage micrometers are put on the stage/view platform of the microscope, so instead of putting them in the eyepiece you are putting them right next to the object you are looking at in the microscope.


What tool would a scientist use to see an atom?

A scientist would use a high-powered electron microscope to see an atom. This microscope uses electrons instead of light to visualize objects at the atomic scale. Due to the smaller wavelength of electrons compared to light, the electron microscope can achieve much higher resolution, allowing scientists to observe atomic structures.

What is the minimum size of the organism which could be seen under microscope?

Depends, optic microscopes don't see much smaller than a nucleus very well, organelles such as mitochondria are seen as specks if you have a good microscope. To see more detail, you need an electron microscope (transmission or scanning), with which you can even see objects as small as viruses.

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.

electron tunneling 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.

Because many have seen them.We can see them through electron microscope.


What type of microscope would allow the viewer to see ribosomes inside a cell?

An electron microscope would allow the viewer to see ribosomes inside a cell. This type of microscope uses a beam of electrons to image the specimen at a very high resolution, enabling visualization of cellular structures like ribosomes.
