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.

What is the smallest object that can be seen under an electron microscope?
Down to 1 Angstrom = 0,000 000 000 1 meter. The smallest "object" That can be seen under an electron microscope is most likely the electronAnother opinionThe atom is the smallest!
How powerful of a microscope do you need to see a atom?
You cannot see an atom visually with a microscope. They're smaller (quite a bit smaller, actually) than visual light waves. The instrument that's used to "see" atoms is called a scanning tunneling microscope, but it doesn't use visible light, it uses electrical potentials and the pictures are generated by computer processing of the data.
What type of microscope do scientists use to see an atom?
Scanning tunneling microscope
1981 device to see an atom?
ATOM PROBE is the instrument used to examine atom
Can you use a high school microscope to see an atom?
Not unless your highschool has an electron microscope
Is it possible to see an atom with a special type of microscope?
The atomic force microscope is an instrument.
Why do scientists see a blur when they look at an atom under a microscope?
the see a blur cuz its out of focus right away and cus its so tiny
Of what are atoms composed-?
Protons, electrons and neutrons are what make up an atom. Atoms are so small they cannot even been seen under a microscope.
How do you see a atom?
You Need a really powerful Microscope
You can see an atom with?
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!
Can atoms be seen by a microscope?
No. to viewing a phenomenon you need to send light (photon) to it and then see reflected light( photon) as the atom particles (electron,neutron,proton) are in order of photon, your sent light changes their conditions and you see none
