Immortal Jellyfish
I was going to link to this last week, but I forgot:
http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/only-immortal-animal-on-earth/20087
Also, and I wish I could find the picture online, but I was reading a book on viruses today and there is a picture of a lysed bacteriophage with all its DNA spilling out--and you can actually see the individual DNA strand. In other words, you are essentially looking at a molecule--as in maybe 10 to 20 atoms in width!
*mind is boggled*
