You can't see individual microbes because they're really tiny (like atoms, but bigger). However you can see colonies of microbes when they're been grown on a petry dish (so there's lots of them).

By definition, not with the naked eye. Although there are some members of the groups within the categories of microbes that are just barely within our visual range.
