A light microscope can typically resolve particles as small as 200 nanometers in size. This limit is known as the resolution limit of a light microscope due to the wavelength of visible light.Particles smaller than this limit may not be visible without additional techniques like fluorescence or electron microscopy.
To see particles, such as individual cells or microorganisms, you would typically need a light microscope. However, to see smaller particles like viruses or nanoparticles, you would need an electron microscope.
Yes You Can! It can be seen through microscope but it can't be seen through naked eyes because it is way too small to see because there are hundreds of particles in a single strand of your hair. So it is completely impossible to see with the naked eye.
Yes, light passes through a microscope to illuminate the specimen, allowing it to be viewed. The light is focused by lenses in the microscope to create a magnified image of the specimen.
Light microscopes can magnify objects up to 1000 times their actial size, and they are often used for dissections. Light in the light microscope allows the viewers to see the specimen that is being magnified.
A microscope is necessary to observe Brownian motion because the movement of particles is very small and needs to be magnified in order to be visible to the human eye. The microscope allows us to see the random motion of the particles as they collide with each other and move in a liquid or gas. Without a microscope, the individual particle movements would be too small to detect.
