Question

what magnification is required to view bacteria

Answer 1

Hi there

Bacteria are difficult to see with a bright-field compound microscope for several reasons: They are small: In order to see their shape, it is necessary to use a magnification of about 400x to 1000x. The optics must be good in order to resolve them properly at this magnification.


Thank You
