    Err, I don’t think that’s right. That’s physically impossible. Only electrons are small enough to visualise molecules and atoms, which is why you need electron microscope to see those.

      Whoa, my optometrist told me that’s what they are and now I’m really disappointed.

      Considering their shape and what you said about them being impossible to observe in visible light… I guess those branch-like pieces are cell organelle fragments instead?

      Dang, and here I was excited to be seeing molecules.
