Hey pithovirus, you so fat dat...
...I can see you with a light microscope pretty damn clearly: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140304071433.htm

30,000 year-old amoeba-specific virus discovered in Siberian permafrost.  Which isn't so perma these days.  And it's 1.5 µm long and 0.5 µm wide, which makes it the largest virus ever discovered.
"In the beginning, the Universe was created.  This made a lot of people very angry and has widely been regarded as a bad move."  [Douglas Adams]
