Microscope/virus topic

[Luci]

Hello there!

I am new in the study of Human Biology and I have a question for those who are familiar with the field. The question is:

Why can’t you see any viruses that might be inside a cell with the strongest compound light microscope?

Your answer will be of great help.

Thank you,
Luci

Because of the size of the virus. They are too tiny to be seen under light microscope

Because the light wavelength isn't strong enough to resolve the size of virus....except one virus..this virus can be seen with light microscope..it's Poxvirus..

Thanks to both of you!
