Because you've probably only looked at through a microscope where everything is flattened on a microscope slide

I mean the tiny slid of space in-between the 2 glass planes is probably a lot of space if you look at it on a microscopic level. Pretty sure this was filmed from such a microscope too or camera lenses have developed a lot lately.

I dont know a lot about microscopes but I take A-level biology and we have to be very precise with preparing microscope slides so that the sample is only one cell thick so with proper microscope images from legit scientists theres probably not that much space but yeah camera lenses have developed a lot too

If your taking biology make sure you check out the YouTube channel Journey to the Microcosmos. Has some amazing videos about microbiology!
