Viruses were too small to be seen in a microscope so they were not identified till the 1930s.
Viruses are too small to be seen directly with a light microscope.Can be seen when it's examined under an electron microscope
Because Viruses are very small... Even smaller than bacteria... They are so small that they cannot be seen by any ordinary light microscope ! hence You Need To Use An Electron Microscope!
Scientists began to study viruses because they had found a factor that was smaller than bacteria but could still cause diseases. This factor came to be known as a virus. At that time, they didn't have the technology to see viruses. But they wanted to know if viruses were very small cells or simply non-living groups of molecules.

Viruses are very small and can be considered ultramicroscopic. We were not able to see them with the best light microscopes as we could bacteria (prokaryotes). We have to use an electron microscope to see them as they are that small. This was not available until recently. Leeuwenhoek's microscope was not strong enough to see such small things.
It is true that lava cools quickly and forms minerals with small crystals.
The shape of viruses varies greatly. They can be shaped like small balls (spherical viruses) like strands of spaghetti (flexous viruses) rigid rods, like bullets (baciliform viruses) and like geometric shapes (isocohedral viruses) The smallest viruses can be as small as 20nm (20/1,000,000 of a mm) to as much as 2,000 nm for some flexous plant viruses.
because they arn't as complex as a human cell
Viruses are too small, and can't be seen in an optic microscope.
Viruses are too small for van Leeuwenhoek to have seen with his simple microscope.
False it breaks up small rocks then picks it up...

You could use it in the following way: "She took a napkin from the restaurant as a memento of their first date".
The very small size of virus particles was a major limiting factor of the discovery of viruses.
