The most common way to look inside a cell is to use a microscope. There are several different kinds of microscopes (fluorescent microscopes, electron microscopes, light microscopes) as well as several different kinds of contrast generating techniques (phase contrast, DIC) which help to see different parts of the a cell more clearly. Often times a dye is also used to help visualize the inside of a cell.

You can tell it is non living, because it is filled with air. Under a microscope you will be able to only see a cell wall, because the inside is air.
