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 | ||

No problem for the healthy naked eye Which according to the article is the size of a bacteria. I think they meant 500x larger than the typical bacteria. | ||
