Question

What are the different types of microscopes? Does a normal light microscope allow you to see DNA?

Answer 1

A normal light microscope cannot see DNA. DNA is smaller than a cell organelle, since it's what makes up the cell itself and if we have a tough time seeing cell organelles with the normal light microscope how can we be able to see DNA with a normal light microcope.
