      No – its not visible to the naked eye! A human ovary have over 50,000 eggs and its the size of a walnut!

      The smallest objects that the unaided human eye can see are about 0.1 mm … right conditions, you might be able to see an ameoba proteus but not a human egg, you can see a chickens egg 🙂
