Best Answer

Bacteria are too small for the eye to detect. The lens simply doesn't have a high enough "zoom" to be able to focus on microscopic organisms and objects.

However, there are two bacteria that can be seen with the naked eye:

Epulopiscium fishelsoni

It lives in the guts of surgeonfish, hence the name "fishelsoni." The largest specimen was at around 0,38 mm

Thiomargarita namibiensis

This is the largest known bacteria. It is commonly found in sizes of 0,1 to 0,3 mm, although specimens of up to 0,7 and 0,8 mm have been found.

It lives in the shores of the coastlines around Namibia, which explains why it's called T. Namibiensis.
