macroscopic
Seen unaided easily
Macroscopic describes things large enough to see with the naked eye, as opposed to microscopic.
The term appears in scientific contexts distinguishing scales of observation: macroscopic phenomena, macroscopic structure.
What's visible at the macroscopic level may behave differently than at molecular or atomic scales.
