Electron microscope
The most powerful type of microscope is the electron microscope, which uses a beam of electrons to achieve much higher magnification and resolution compared to light microscopes. This allows visualization of structures at the atomic level.
The most powerful microscope today is the cryo-electron microscope (cryo-EM). It allows researchers to see details at the molecular and atomic level, providing high-resolution images of biological molecules and structures. This technology has revolutionized the field of structural biology.
You Need a really powerful Microscope

A microscope acts like a magnifying glass, only much more powerful.

You can but you need a very powerful microscope
An electronic microscope's strength depends on if it's a light microscope or an electron microscope. A light microscope can only perform a few thousand times magnification but an electron microscope can go into many hundreds of thousands of times magnification.
An atomic force microscope is more powerful than an electron microscope. It can provide higher resolution images and can be used to study materials at the atomic level by scanning a sharp tip over the surface of the sample.
