OK, so it can't be seen with a normal microscope, but can it be "seen" in another sense. The issue is: can it be measured? And, better still, is there a DIY way of measuring it and its misfolding?

If we can't measure it directly, what proxy measures are there? For instance, aggregations of alpha-synuclein, Lewy bodies, can be seen in a microscope.
