So they are not invisible.

You can see the small viruses with microscopes using coloring agents.
Some viruses are bred with isotopes to keep track of them.
With better microscopes (electron microscopes, atomic force scanners) more details of viruses can be observed.
But using these microscopes also kill anything that is scanned.

False. Post some pics.

But again that doesn't prove anything anyway.

The details of how the pics were made and what circumstances are relevant are indeed important.

Viruses enhanced with isotopes that spread and multiply in plants:

Seems like a good project to start with. The method is non-destructive, which means that the cells and viruses can survive the microscope.

I saw "terrain theory" criticism on that "it was not a severe disease",
but not that there were no viruses.

Viruses that are engineered in the lab to modify genes is also well-known.
So this means that some kind of biological entity exists that can modify our genes.
And this same entity can also reproduce using the same cells.
