> visualizing the scale and complexity of cells
You might like my crufty and slowwwly-loading page http://www.clarifyscience.info/part/Atoms http://www.clarifyscience.info/part/Atoms for "nanoview" (zoom so that 1 nm looks like 1 mm). And http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/ http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/ to look up biological numbers. So cells are zoomed to large garbage bags, rooms and buildings, proteins[1] look like bits of Play-Doh, and atoms like sand.[2]
