The naked eye can see only the largest phytoplankton and protozoa. Most can only be seen under a microscope.
Detailed explanation-3: -Microorganisms are too minute in size to be seen by unaided eyes, hence are observed and studied using microscopes. Compound microscopes are commonly used in research labs and institutes to study microorganisms. They use glass lenses to bend and focus light rays and produce enlarged images of small objects.
