Many people guessed that viruses existed but Helmut Ruska first imaged virus particles - using beams of electrons deflected off virus particles coated in heavy metal atoms. From 1938 through the early 1940s, he imaged virions using an electron microscope.

Are bacteria smaller than a virus?
Viruses are non-living entities that show characteristics of living beings inside another living cell. Viruses consist of genetic material surrounded by protein coat. They lack organelles or membranes. Thus, they are very much smaller than bacterial cells which have membranes, and sometimes even organelles. In fact, many viruses inhabit bacterial cells. They are called bacteriophages. The smallest bacteria are in the order of .3 micrometers, while the largest viruses are in the order of 400 nanometers.
