Macroscopicobjects can be seen with the naked eye. Objects that you see in everyday life are macroscopic. Macroscopic objects are comprised of microscopic and/or particulate objects.
Microscopicobjects are smaller than macroscopic objects and cannot be seen with the naked eye, but they are large enough to be seen through an optical microscope.
Ergo, it is micro, not macroscopic.

No, chloroplasts are typically too small to be individually visible under a light microscope. They are usually only visible as green specks within plant cells when viewed collectively.
Size of algae ranges from 1 micron (1/1000 of a millimeter) to large seaweeds. For example: kelps which are 60 metres long.
Chloroplasts are usually 5000nm to 6000nm hence they can be seen under a light microscope.
Under a light microscope, you can see various parts of a plant cell such as the cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts, vacuole, and sometimes the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Each of these parts plays a different role in the cell's structure and function.
Yes, some cell structures can be seen under light microscopes, such as the cell membrane, nucleus, and some organelles like chloroplasts in plant cells. However, smaller structures like ribosomes and detailed structures within organelles may not be visible under a light microscope due to their limited resolution.
That is when the DNA is condensed, at which time it is called chromosome.
Under an electron microscope, structures can be seen with much higher resolution compared to a light microscope. This includes viewing individual molecules, detailed cell structures, and even viruses. The high magnification and resolution of an electron microscope allow for visualization of fine details that are not visible under a light microscope.
As larger eukaryotic cells many can be seen under a light microscope ( moderte to good quality ). Simple fresh pond water can show a whole different world of protists.
