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

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.
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.
Parts of a plant cell seen under a light microscope?
The parts of a (palisade) plant cell that can be seen under a light microscope are:cell wallcell (surface) membranelarge (permanent) vacuolecytoplasmnucleuschloroplasts
Why are such a limited number of organelles observed when viewing the plant and animal cells under the microscope?
Most organelles are very small and require a magnification greater than the x1500 available using a light microscope. An electron microscope is required for greater magnification and resolution. Therefore a small area of the slide is avalible.
What does DNA pictures under a microscope?
That is when the DNA is condensed, at which time it is called chromosome.
Can Viruses be seen with a light microscope.?
Viruses are too small to be seen directly with a light microscope.Can be seen when it's examined under an electron microscope
Can really be an electron seen under microscope?
only under an electron microscope wiki it
Which virus can be seen by light microscope?
None can. They have to be seen using a electron microscope.
Is AIDS an organism that can be seen under a microscope?
AIDS is the disease caused by the virus called HIV. It can not be seen under a light microscope (as one in the class lab) but you must use an electron microscope as they are very tiny.
If your specimen is too small to be seen with a light microscope you can use an electron microscope?
True.
Why are some of the cell organelles not clear in the structure of the cells observed under microscope?
It is not possible to see organelles with a compound light microscope because some organelles are to small to be seen with the low magnification of the light microscope. If they can not be seen through the compound microscope they are normally looked at through the electron microscopes (transmission electron microscope {TEM} or scanning electron microscope {SEM}).
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 type of microscope is used when things are too small to be seen seen?
light microscope or SEM or TEM electron microscopy
Can mycoplasmas be studied with the light microscope?
mycoplamas can be seen under light microscope
What microscope is used to see a flu virus?
The electron microscope is used to view things such as viruses as they are to small to be seen on a light 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.
What are the uses of an electron microscope?
viewing objects too small to be seen with visible light.
