EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria are too small to see without the aid of a microscope. While some eucaryotes, such as protozoa, algae and yeast, can be seen at magnifications of 200X-400X, most bacteria can only be seen with 1000X magnification. This requires a 100X oil immersion objective and 10X eyepieces..

Detailed explanation-2: -Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is the only imaging technique allowing the direct visualization of viruses, due to its nanometer‐scale resolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -In order to see bacteria, you will need to view them under the magnification of microscopes as bacteria are too small to be observed by the naked eye. Most bacteria are 0.2 um in diameter and 2-8 um in length with a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacterial cells are around 1 micron in size, which makes them invisible to the naked eye. Fluorescence microscopy allows different parts and aspects of bacteria to be visualized-including nuclei, cell membrane, organelles, and even specific proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -At 1000x magnification you will be able to see 0.180mm, or 180 microns.
