What's the smallest object that you have seen?

IDK but this made me think of some stupid thing that I used to see in the news when I was growing up. From time to time, I saw in the news that some calligrapher wrote a piece of religious scripture on a grain of rice or some small thing like that. I mean what's the point in doing that?! And why should this be on the news?!

Idk i look at lots of lil critters under the scope every week. They're all small. Somewhere around 0.5-1 micrometer for the bacteria

Idk probably a piece of dust. I read recently that skin cells are big enough to see, so I tried to see some of mine.. no idea if I succeeded.

Oh, if you don't mean with our naked eyes, I've seen individual atoms captured using special electron microscopes or tiny needles or something.
