      Oh yes you can definitely see things moving, if the organism hasn’t been what we call fixed to a slide and it’s still alive they wiggle around! It makes life very difficult when you’re trying to count them!

      Yes, it’s exactly like Ananthi says! Even on the lowest resolution microscope you can see some bacteria!

      Yes you can 🙂 It’s actually really easy to magnify a microorganism and see it wiggling around
