Are there an instruments powerful enough to magnify atoms so they can be seen?

No
I have to add that "no" might not be entirely the correct answer. Here's a wiki entry about "Atomic Force Microscopes". It also includes actual pics:

It works very differently than the microscopes we are used to. It's a good read, check it out.

Powerful energy emitted from certain heavy atoms?
Radiation
You can see atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope?
The needle doesn't actually touch the atoms, but you can their outlines.
Why is ultraviolet light considered ionizing radiation?
That means that it is energetic enough to ionize atoms - to convert neutral atoms into ions.
How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?
A fission bomb splits atoms apart using neutrons, whilst a fusion bomb instead fuses the atoms together, and is about ten times more powerful than a fission bomb.
Is Nuclear Energy Created?
The law that people go by is: Energy can not be destroyed or created by nature.Nuclear energy is man made though, with our nuclear power plants. So this contains the correct information for Nuclear Energy. This happens because of the splitting/smashing of atoms, creating a powerful enough energy to power homes and other appliances.
Are there any instruments powerful enough to magnify atoms?
FALSE
Why can atom not be seen with a powerful optical microscope?
there is and its called an scanning tunneling. ============== Sorry but this above answer is false there is NOT any instruments powerful enough to magnify atoms so that they can be seen. The model of an atom we have is a theory because we can't prove the way it looks. The Atom as we know it is just a theroy. Why would this be if we could see an atom. So again no there is NOT an instrument powerful enough to do this.
Would scientists come up with the cell theory if microscopes were never invented?
Quite probably yes. After all, Dalton proposed the existence of atoms in early 1800s, long before there were machines that were powerful enough to see atoms with!
When the cloud contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium atoms to produce?
fusion
What are the risks of nuclear reactors?
It is like a spreading atoms. When atoms is hit with another, it will spreading into other atoms and become bigger. That is why it is so powerful...
What is the name of scientific instruments which allow us to see atoms?
An atomic microscope
Powerful energy emitted from certain heavy atoms?
Radiation
Why do you need a special microscope to see atoms?
Because traditional optics cannot magnify something the size of an angstrom to a level viewable by the human eye. In addition atoms move faster than a human could track.
Is atoms considered atoms?
No, an atom or atoms are concrete nouns; even if you can't see them with the naked eye, they are the building blocks, a part of everything you can see or touch. Atoms can be measured and counted with scientific instruments.
When the cloud contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium atoms to produce energy what forms?
Nuclear
Which is more powerful ions or atoms?
Wrong idea. Please clarify question if you can.
How do electron microscopes and other instruments form images of atoms and molecules?
to make the images ,scientists use special instruments such as electron microscopes and x-rays miscroscopes
