What cell structures can be seen with a compound microscope?
In most plant cells, the organelles that are visible under a compound light microscope are the cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, central vacuole, and nucleus.
What cell structures are visible with a light microscope?
Note: The nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, chloroplasts and cell wall are organelles which can be seen under a light microscope.
What structures can you observe through light microscopy?
Contemporary light microscopes are able to magnify objects up to about a thousand times. Since most cells are between 1 and 100 μm in diameter, they can be observed by light microscopy, as can some of the larger subcellular organelles, such as nuclei, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.

What organelle is usually visible in cells when viewed with a microscope quizlet?
Chloroplasts: are the green, spherical organelles often seen moving within the cytoplasms.
How do compound light microscopes allow the internal structures of cells to be viewed?
Light Microscopes Visible light passes and is bent through the lens system to enable the user to see the specimen. Resolving power is the ability of a microscope to distinguish two adjacent structures as separate: the higher the resolution, the better the clarity and detail of the image.
What microscope can see cells?
Compound microscopes
Compound microscopes are light illuminated. The image seen with this type of microscope is two dimensional. This microscope is the most commonly used. You can view individual cells, even living ones.
What would you least likely be able to see with a light microscope?
You can see most bacteria and some organelles like mitochondria plus the human egg. You can not see the very smallest bacteria, viruses, macromolecules, ribosomes, proteins, and of course atoms.
Which cell looks more clear when it is observed through a microscope?
In practical terms, bacteria and mitochondria, which are about 500 nm (0.5 μm) wide, are generally the smallest objects whose shape can be clearly discerned in the light microscope; details smaller than this are obscured by effects resulting from the wave nature of light.
