No, DNA molecules cannot be seen under a light microscope, even at magnifications as high as 400x. DNA is much smaller than the resolution limit of light microscopes, which is around 200 nanometers. Specialized techniques such as electron microscopy or fluorescence microscopy are needed to visualize DNA.
