No. It is far, far too small to be "seen" in any way in which we "look" at other stuff. Light, which is the medium for seeing things in the normal sense, is too "large" for the tiny electrons. We see things because the things we are looking at reflect light. The reflected light is what we form images with. Electrons are too tiny to reflect light. They are more likely to be "bumped around" by the light photons.

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.
What is the difference between a compound microscope and an electron microscope?
Compound microscopes (also called compound light microscopes) employ light and an array of glass lenses to magnify an object. (This is distinguished from a simple microscope of one lens.) An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify an object. The lensing system employs electric and magnetic fields and is specialized for applications requiring much higher magnification. See related links.
Some proteins within a cell can be viewed with a. naked eye b. an electron microscope c.light microscope d. none of the choices are correct?
B. an electron microscope, Because an electron microscope is more detailed and lets you see smaller and more complex things than the light microscope. And proteins are too small to see by the naked eye.
Which tool allows scientists to see patterns of carbon molecules?
electron microscope
Can compound microscopes see atoms?
No. No matter how powerful an optical microscope is, it can never be used to see atoms. Atoms are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. You can, however, view atoms using an electron microscope.
What is used to see the inside of a cell?
Probably an electron microscope.
What type of microscope would allow the viewer to see ribosomes inside a cell?
Ribosomes are very small.So have to use an electron microscope.
When would a scientist use a electron microscope?
when they want to see the inside of the cell.when you use a electron microscope the cell is going to die.
What things are looked at through electron microscopes?
Really small things. Because there are limits to how small an object we can observe through a light microscope, we developed the electron microscope. By setting up a sample and streaming electrons at it to resolve an image, we can "see" things smaller than we'd be able to see through a light microscope.
How does an electron microscope magnify images?
The electrons bounce of the object, therefore, you can see it.
What microscope type is used to see the detail inside a cell?
You have turn the fine adjustment knob to see the cell.
Can colors be seen with an electron microscope?
No, they cannot due to the fact that the electron microscope does not use light rays to illuminate the object; therefore, colors cannot be see since they are a reflection of light.
Centrioles might be observed in some of these cells with an electron microscope In which cells would these be observed and what is the function of these cell organelles?
because centrioles have a dagree and can use a electron microscope to see the nucleaus inside

What does an electroscope do?
I'm guessing you mean the electron microscope. The EM does the same thing an ordinary visible light microscope does which is allows the viewer to see very tiny things. But the EM allows the viewer to see things that are way smaller than the smallest objects the ordinary microscope can see. The electron microscope allows us to see those way smaller objects because the electro-magnetic waves that the electron microscope uses to illuminate the target object we want to view are orders of magnitude shorter than visible light waves. And a rule of physics is that whatever object we want to see can only be seen when the illuminating waves are shorter than the object's size.
What type of microscope allows us to see cell organelles?
scanning electron microscope.
What type microscope is used to see cilia?
Electron microscope.
