Which microscope is used to see stomata?
Most people use a traditional compound microscope at 400x to see individual stomata on plant leaves. It is possible to see stomata as small white dots on the underside of a leaf at magnifications from 50-100x, but you will not be able to do real stomatal counts, or see individual stomata.
Can you see stomata under light microscope?
A leaf that is attached to a plant is secured to a temperature-controlled microscope stage, and the top surface of the leaf is illuminated via the microscope's light source while stomata on the underside of the leaf are observed through a microscope objective.
