can a scientist see atoms?
They can't see atoms with a naked eye, but they can use an electron microscope or a STM (scanning tunneling microscope).
What does a scanning tunneling microscope allow scientists to see?
The scanning tunneling microscope scans samples using a very fine metallic tip.
How large do you think the needle is in the scanning tunneling mircoscope?
Needle in the scanning tunneling microscope is about 10 nanometers.
What type of microscope do scientists use to see an atom?
Scanning tunneling microscope
You can see atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope?
The needle doesn't actually touch the atoms, but you can their outlines.
What allows scientist to see atoms?

What type of microscope do scientists use to see an atom?
Scanning tunneling microscope
Which microscope can be used to visualize DNA or botulinum toxin?
Scanning tunneling microscope
What technique can be used to visualize individual atoms?
In 1981 the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) was invented. The STM has ultrahigh resolution and can image single atoms.
What machine is used to look at an atom?
Scanning tunneling electron microscope
Which type of microscope allows the viewing of living cells?
