I agree with Doc Begely. Some of the largest viruses can been seen under the microscope faintly.

Ouch, well it doesn't look like you've got your facts straight. You mustn't have studied your Virus Basics, because the first thing you would have learned is that viruses are too small even to see under regular high-powered microscopes. Since this microbe is seen underneath under a microscope, it is automatically considered non-viral.
