Yes. We can see atoms, cells, viruses, bacteria...
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, was the first to observe and describe microscopic organisms, which he called animalcules, in the late 17th century. He used a single-lens microscope of his own design to make these observations.
Your home is smaller than the earth but you can see it!
Wanting to see things smaller than can be seen by normal light microscopes (magnification more than 800x)
Yes, there are quite a few units smaller than the millimetre. A micron is 1/1000th of mm. A nano metre is 1 millionth of a millimetre. A picometre is 1 billionth of a millimetre. See femto and attometre and also angstrom for further things smaller than a metre.
When you wear glasses, the lenses bend light to help you see better. This bending of light can sometimes make objects appear smaller than they actually are.
Some stars are smaller than the sun, some are smaller, and some are about the same size. The sun is a star that is larger than average, but not out of the ordinary.
A microscope is very nice for looking a things that are smaller than we can see with by using just our eyes. These microscopes were what were used to first see bacteria and other very small organisms.
centimetres To measure an object smaller than an inch you can use a ruler. Builders often use rulers to measure things smaller than an inch. Or you can use a vernier caliper to accurately measure small things. If you r are talking about what measurements you use then you use parts of an inch ie 16ths or 8ths or 32nds of an inch.
