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

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.


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.


If your specimen is too small to be seen with a light microscope you can use an electron microscope?

True.


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.


Types of microorganisms can be seen in a light microscope?

Common types of microorganisms that can be seen under a light microscope include bacteria, yeast, algae, and protozoa. These microorganisms are relatively larger and can be observed with a brightfield microscope at higher magnifications. Viruses, which are much smaller, typically require an electron microscope for visualization.


What type of microscope is used when things are too small to be seen seen?

light microscope or SEM or TEM electron microscopy


Can you see the ribosomes under a light microscope?

No, ribosomes are too small to be seen with a light microscope. They are typically around 20-30 nanometers in size, which is below the resolution limit of a light microscope. Special techniques such as electron microscopy are needed to visualize ribosomes.


Can mycoplasmas be studied with the light microscope?

Yes, mycoplasmas can be studied with a light microscope, but they are quite small, so they may be difficult to observe due to their size. Staining techniques can be used to help visualize mycoplasmas under a light microscope. Transmission electron microscopy is often used for more detailed studies of mycoplasmas.


Are viruses seen under an electron microscope?

Only the largest of viruses (e.g. Pox viruses) can be seen with a good light microscope (albeit with poor detail). Viruses usually can only be seen by electron microscopy. [2nd year Dental student, Naser]
