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).
You can see atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope?
The needle doesn't actually touch the atoms, but you can their outlines.
When using a scanning probe microscope do you see atoms directly or only indirectly?
indirectly
What is the maximum magnification of a microscope?
one can make images of atoms using a scanning tunneling mcroscope.
John Dalton used a scanning tunneling microscope to observe individual atoms?
No. John Dalton was alive in the 1800s. There were no electron microscopes at that time.
How do you see atoms?
With a Scanning tunneling microscope STM
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 allows scientist to see atoms?
scanning tunneling microscope

What could produce an image of individual atoms?
scanning electron microscope
What type of microscope allows you to observe single atoms?
scanning probe
What microscope helps scientists view individual atoms?

What do you view atoms with?
You can view an atom with a scanning- tunneling microscope and a atomic force microscopes.
When using a scanning probe microscope do you see atoms directly or only indirectly?
indirectly
Which tool allows scientist to see atoms on the surface of a metal?
electron microscope owais.khaforu@yahoo.com
What is a scanning probe microscope used for?
A scanning probe microscope is used for observing, studying and measuring surfaces on a fine scale to the level of atoms and molecules. One can find more information about these on Wikipedia.
