What if cameras can take pictures on things that are invisible by the naked eye?

I heard people are developing cameras that can take pictures and videos on subjects that can only be seen with a microscope. What would you do with such a new feature? Would that be even better if this camera is on a cellphone? By "invisible" I mean that they are too small to be seen by the naked eye, rather than truly invisible like ghosts

1. I wouldn't use it. I'd rather not know what's crawling all over my skin. :-/
2. What makes you think you could see a picture of something not ordinarily visible to the naked eye? An invisible object in a picture would also be invisible. Even if certain cameras can take pictures of invisible objects, we'd never know.
3. I wonder where you heard that? Scientists (and others) have been doing that for over sixty years. Photomicrography has been with us since about the time 35mm still cameras and 16mm motion picture cameras became available. Since images taken of objects that small need to be of very high quality, a cell phone would not be one of the first choices or even the last choice as a way to record those images
4. Maybe they're just talking about a really good macro mode. I used my Fujifilm Finepix F10 to take a picture of my eyeball from about one inch away. My iris looks awesome.
