Viruses can be seen with a(n)

Compound microscope
Electron microscope
Light microscope
Scanning microscope

The correct answer is: Electron microscope

The correct answer is a compound microscope. An electron microscope is the most powerful type of microscope, capable of magnifying specimens by up to a million times. This level of magnification allows for the visualization of viruses, which are much smaller than bacteria and other microorganisms. Light microscopes, on the other hand, are not powerful enough to observe viruses. Scanning microscopes are used to create 3D images of a sample, and are not suitable for observing viruses. Therefore, the most appropriate option for viewing viruses is an electron microscope.
