Yes, some can be seen by the naked eye.

While the vast majority of cells are far too small to be seen without at least a magnifying glass, many species of single-celled organisms are in fact large enough to be seen by the naked eye. The human eye is able to perceive cells as small as parameciums, under the proper lighting, but single-celled organisms can indeed grow much larger still. The yolk of eggs, for example, is a single haploid cell that is ordinarily fertilized by a spermatazoa. Single celled protozoans the size of grapes have been found crawling along the ocean floor, and larger still is the Caulerpa, a plant-like single-celled algae that develops multiple nuclei and grows leaf-like fronds, and can develop up to a length of thirty to ninety inches, or up to one to three meters in length. The odds are good that you have seen a Caulerpa sometime during your life, as they are a common species of seaweed that is very popular in domestic aquariums.

Yes you can see certain types of cells. For example: An egg yolk is a single cell and we are able to see it. There is a single celled plant-like algae that can grow up to 30-90 inches or 3 meters in length. We are also able to see this so humans can see limited types of cells but not very much.

You are very unlikely to be able to see cells with the naked eye. You can see cells (such as a single layer of cells), but you might not be able to distinguish the individual cells.

Microscopes are much more likely to be used when looking at cells.

Yes. The female egg cell, while small, is visible to the naked eye.

depending on which type of cell it is, however with most cells you need a microscope because of their size

The only human cell that's large enough to see with the naked eye (just barely) is the ovum.

Can you see stars that are not from the milky way?

They can be seen in telescopes. At least three galaxies can be seen with the naked eye, but individual stars are normally too faint to be seen. However, in the case of a supernova explosion in a nearby galaxy, it could be seen with the naked eye, too.

Can you see particles with a microscope?

Yes You Can! It can be seen through microscope but it can't be seen through naked eyes because it is way too small to see because there are hundreds of particles in a single strand of your hair. So it is completely impossible to see with the naked eye.
