small micro stuff?

Question

i extrmely confused now...how do ppl no what DNA luks like and how viruses luk like?...is it even visible under the microscope?....
and are atoms now visible under the microscope?....

Answer 1

Viruses can be visualized using an electron microscope. You can also see chromosomes with electron microscopes. You can see atoms using an atomic force microscope which has a magnification of 5,000,000.

Answer 2

Yes...sort of. Visible light microscopes will never be able to see things as small as atoms, because the atoms are smaller than the wavelength of the light. However, scanning electron microscopes can see things in much smaller scale and can give "pictures" of individual atoms.

Answer 3

those things can be seen with an electron microscope but usually only scientists have it
