Explanation

Figure 6.2 illustrates the size range of various biological structures and the types of microscopy suitable for observing them. The 'Light microscopy' arrow indicates that objects from human eggs down to most bacteria and mitochondria roughly 100 µm to 1 µm are observable. Structures smaller than this, such as viruses and ribosomes 10-100 nm range , fall into the 'Super-resolution microscopy' or 'Electron microscopy' ranges, meaning they are generally not resolvable by a standard light microscope.
