Suki Dee has a spectacular aura about
yeast - A
water molecule - This would not be visible even with an electron microscope. You would need the even better scanning force microscope to see things on the atomic scale. The best electron microscopes can only see something the size of a benzene molecule as a blur. A water molecule is just a fraction of the size of benzene. Both of these consist of just a few atoms, living organisms, even the simplest, consist of RNA, DNA, or Proteins and would have at least several thousand atoms.
