Why can't you see bacteria? (Besides to look on a telescope and that its small)?

Why can't you see bacteria besides you saying its small and that nobody knows or that theres no bacteria. First of all I think that there is bacteria, cuz sicentist already knows theres lots of different bacterias.theres no other way i can think of that you can see bacteria besides looking through a telescope. besides that how can we see bacteria?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking but i'll try to cover a broad range of things. There is bacteria and it's pretty much indisputable. And the answer why we can't see it is that it's microscopic our vision would have to be magnified up to hundreds of times before we'd be able to see all of them.
Reply:i don't know exactly..bacterias are prokaryotic cells.they don't have well defined nucleus.they lack cell wall.they are micro-organisms so they can't be seen.
Reply:1. You mean a microscope, not a telescope.


2. You can't see bacteria because they are much, much smaller than the smallest thing you can see. There is no reason "besides" that. A microscope helps you by making small things look bigger.
Reply:You can not see individual bacterial cells without a microscope. However, if you grow a bacterial culture you can see the bacteria without a microscope. Cultures on agar plates grow colonies of millions of bacteria clustered together that can be seen. If a broth culture is grown then the broth becomes turbid, or cloudy, and that indicates bacterial growth.
