Yes some cells can be seen without the use of a microscope. According to Beyond Books.com (2007.), "Most cells are very small and can't be seen without magnification. [However,] An ostrich egg, which may weigh up to two pounds, is actually a single cell. A neuron, is also a single nerve cell that can be seen without a micrscope." (Beyond Books.com, 2007.)

Generally, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, there are some single cells that are large enough to be seen without a microscope. Unfertilized egg yolks, for example, are single cells, therefore frog eggs, chicken eggs and most certainly ostrich eggs, provide examples of easily visible single cells.

These single cells can also be seen by the naked eye:

-The green algae Caulerpa can grow up to a meter long although it is a single cell. It can be seen in many salt water aquariums.

-Look at what you are eating in an orange or grapefruit. Each tiny sac of juice, with its thin tapered ends, is an individual plant cell.

-Thiomargarita namibiensis, the largest bacterium ever discovered, is no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence, but it can be seen without a microscope!
