Not unless your highschool has an electron microscope
Yes, you do. You cannot see an atom with the naked eye; it is too small.
The atomic force microscope is an instrument.
You Need a really powerful Microscope
Without a microscope? Never. Atoms are much to small to see with the naked eye...
A scientist would use a high-powered electron microscope to see an atom. This microscope uses electrons instead of light to visualize objects at the atomic scale. Due to the smaller wavelength of electrons compared to light, the electron microscope can achieve much higher resolution, allowing scientists to observe atomic structures.
No device can give the complete structure of an atom but you can get a minute idea about the look of an atom using an Electron Microscope!
They are to SMALL to be seen by any microscope!
== == No. Beacause the atom is the smallest part in an element. You can't see it even in a microscope.
A single atom is not visible in a microscope (it is too small to be imaged by photons). What you see in an optical microscope (or in general) is the light reflected, scattered, or emitted by the electron layers of the material under observation.
A special kind of very strong microscope
tunneling microscope
