What Organelles Can Be Seen Under A Light Microscope?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Without using any stains, chloroplasts ( take a leaf from an aquatic plant called Elodea or Anarchis and not only will you see chloroplasts but they will also be moving) and chloroplasts (look in flower petals of the meat of a tomato) are very easily seen. Cilia (on live paramecium) and flagella (on a live Euglena) can be seen if you cut down on source of light

    In order to see mitochondria (in celery stalks), chromosomes, chromatin, spindle (fibers), asters, you will need a stain or a dark field microscope.

    Ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus would need an electron microscope.
