Why did scientist have to use tools other than microscopes to solve the structure of dna?

The size of DNA is way too small to be seen by a microscope. X-ray Crystallography can be used because it sends x-rays at a molecule and then the machine measures the pattern of the x-rays to construct a 3D image of the DNA molecule

What is the role of lenses used in cameras telescopes and microscopes?

In a simple microscope, a lens magnifies the image of the sample.

in a compound microscope, the objective lens magnifies the image (there may be more than one objective lens) and the eyepiece lens enlarges the virtual image (which is typically inverted by the objective lens).

What is too small to be seen with an ordinary microscope A plant cells B animal cells C bacteria D viruses?

Generally viruses are smaller than bacteria, which are themselves smaller than animal and plant cells. Therefore D is the smallest and is least likely to be visible using an ordinary microscope.

See related links for an interactive scale of cells, from the macroscopic to the microscopic, down to a single carbon atom.

When observing your microscope slide you are unable to locate any bacteria what are some possible reasons for this observation?

  1. There are no bacteria on the slide.
  2. Your lens cap is on.
  3. You are not looking in the right place.

Who designed the microscope?

The term microscope technically applies to any magnifying arrangement of lenses, one or many.

Single lens magnification has been known since about 1000 AD and no inventor is recorded by history.

Around 1590, several individuals compete for recognition as the inventor of the compound microscope which is a microscope using two or more lenses. See the link below to the related question, "Who invented the microscope?"

About 1670, Anton van Leeuwenhoek dramatically increased the magnifying power of the simple microscope.
