    You can see cells with the naked eye as well. Notably, eggs. Chicken eggs are also one cell. The largest cell is an ostrich egg.

      There are amoebas that reach 5mm in length.

      IIRC, there are limits on how big they can get based on how far RNA can travel after copying DNA.

        Eggs are still bigger. I think you can actually see human eggs with the naked eye, as they are the width of a hair. Would probably need to be placed on a contrasting surface, though, and appear as a tiny speck

      Don’t forget about Valonia ventricosa as well!
