How scientists visually look an atom?

Nobody can ever see an atom with the naked eye. Nowadays, there may be software or something to see an atom or compound in 3D. But most of this visualizing an atom, or molecule, or compound, is mostly done in our head. So basically you could say we "imagine" it, or basically visualize a 3D model of the atom in our head (so 3D thinking).


Can you see particles with a microscope?

Zone of the sun where photons walk from atom to atom?

The zone of the sun where photons travel from atom to atom is called the "photosphere". The photosphere is the visible surface of the sun and is composed of ionized gas and photons. Photons are essentially particles of light that travel through the sun\'s atmosphere bouncing off the surrounding gas and dust particles. The photosphere is about 500 km thick and is the layer of the sun that we can see with the naked eye.
