Now the resolution is cca. 50 pm.

you would have to havean electron microscope
They can't see atoms with a naked eye, but they can use an electron microscope or a STM (scanning tunneling microscope).
You can see a hair fiber well using an optical microscope, but you can hardly see a dimension 100 times smaller (about 10 microns). An electron microscope can review features as small as 10 nm, about 1/100000 th of a fiber.

A virus of 50nm would be too small to see unless an electron microscope was used because it has greater resolving power and a resolution up to .1nm. A microscope using compound light as the means of illumination could not resolve better than approx. 200nms.

Ribosomes are very small.So have to use an electron microscope.
To see atoms or other extremely small things that you can not see in a light microscope. Even with an electron microscope, atoms are still barely visible.

The compound microscope is a light microscope that uses light to "see" microbes. Viruses are too small.The electron microscope uses electrons to "see" microbes or viruses.
