What kind of microscope do you need to see particles?

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.


What is an electron-microscope?

An electron microscope is a device to be able to see items that are smaller in size than the "sampling rate of light" is in physical size. (The length of a wave of light).


Would A virologist would likely be able to see viral particles with a light microscope?

No, viral particles are generally too small to be seen with a light microscope, which has a limited resolution of around 200 nanometers. Virologists typically use electron microscopes, which have much higher resolution, to observe and study viral particles.


Are particles of carbon almost large enough to see with a microscope?

No, individual carbon particles are much smaller than the resolution limit of a light microscope, which is around 200 nanometers. A scanning electron microscope or a transmission electron microscope would be needed to visualize individual carbon particles, which are typically on the nanoscale.


What is a light in a microscope?

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.


What is the function of a light microscope?

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.

What does the light of the microscope do?

microscope light illuminates the specimen so that you can see it


Why true solutions are not visible with microscope even with electron microscope?

True solutions contain particles that are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, making them invisible even under a microscope. Electron microscopes use electrons instead of light to visualize objects, but they may still not be able to detect the individual particles in a true solution due to their small size and lack of scattering properties.


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 you still see individual particles of salt and iron filings?

They are too small to see. yes under a microscope


In a suspension can you see particles with a microscope?

Yes, I think
