Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimetres, bacteria
size is measured in microns. One micron is at thousandth of a millimetre a pinhead is about a millimetre across. Rod shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns ling, while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter. Thus if you enlarged a founded bacteria a thousand times, it would be just about the size of pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same amount would be over a mile tall. Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots. One cannot make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have attached to them wavy-looking "hairs" called flagella. Others have only the flagellum. The flagella rotate, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria pack flagella and cannot move about by their own power while others can glide along over surfaces.
