Why we can't observe organelles in eukaryotic cells?Explain

Question

this is about biology...help me...can u all explain as much as possible

Answer 1

While magnification is an important function of a microscope, resolution is equally important.  Light microscopes can't "see" most organelles because they are below the resolving power of the light microscope.

Resolution is a least partly affected by the wavelength of the light used to illuminate your specimen.  The shorter the wavelength, the better the resolution, but the human eye can't detect light with wavelengths smaller than about 400 nm, so it is a fundamental limit to the resolving power of light micrscopes.

Answer 2

We can, given the right microscope. The nucleus and chloroplasts are both clearly visible with a regular compound microscope: mitochondria can be barely made out. Smaller organelles are visible using an electron microscope.
