500 something x is definitely not a large magnification. Simple optical microscopes can easily do 2000 (even more).

I'm now sitting in front of an scanning electron microscope in fact and it can go up to 650000x

Tell you what, it is still ridiculously far from atoms. This thing can definitely be seen with a magnifier if not naked eye.

EDIT: I've not noticed that they actually gave the measurement. It's actually wider then half a mm. No problem for the healthy naked eye

Yea, its mostly media sensationalism, but thats to be expected. Its more cool because its the most complex lifeform they've found in it's environment

I wonder how badass they'll look after a few billion years of evolution, anything that lives in such harsh conditions and has fucking teeth like that is bound to succeed in some way or another.

Which according to the article is the size of a bacteria. I think they meant 500x larger than the typical bacteria.

The spice must flow!

Cool find man, it amazes me how many different lifeforms there are on our relatively small planet and how many we keep discovering.
