Two books that I highly recommend to give you a visual and numbers view of the cell:

“The Machinery of Life” by David Goodsell is full of illustrations like the ones show in the article and really gave me a sense of what k might imagine when reading about the cell.

“Cell Biology by the Numbers” by Ron Milo and Rob Philips is full of order of magnitude calculations of about the processes of the cell. How fast are they, over what distance, how much, etc.

Just discovered that you can download high quality scans of Davis Goodsells's art here: https://pdb101.rcsb.org/sci-art/goodsell-gallery

There's a searchable database of bionumbers[1], and a draft version of "by the Numbers" officially online[2].
