Yes,a microscope at 400x is able to see the sperm...

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Yes, if there is sperm present in pre-ejaculate, a microscope at 400X is able to see the sperm/spermatozoa.

However, keep in mind that pre-ejaculate does not contain sperm itself unless from previous ejaculation.

Hope it answered to your queries!
