    When using an up to date microscope
    When using an up to date microscope to examine animal cells what won't you be able to detect?

    Any processes in the cell, or movement of the cells.

    Depends on the microscope. Probably won't see ribosomes if it's a high school light microscope. But "an up to date microscope" could be a really high power scope, a electron microscope. I'd assume it was a light microscope you'd find in a high school lab. In that case, there's lots you wouldn't see--cytoskeleton. It would make more sense to ask what you CAN see.

    I've seen this question over and over. I am a biologist, worked in labs for years, have no idea what the person who wrote the question is getting at. There's some "right" answer.
