Cells yes, molecules for the most part no, atoms definitely not. A few extremely large molecules can be seen with light or electron microscopes (or even with the naked eye... technically, a flawless diamond is one large molecule), but normally something called a scanning tunneling microscope is used to image molecules and atoms.
Under a light microscope, you can observe small objects such as cells, bacteria, and other microorganisms. The microscope uses light to magnify these objects, allowing you to see them in detail.
You would use a light microscope to see the parts of a cell. This type of microscope uses light to magnify the structures within a cell, allowing you to visualize organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and cell membrane.
The basic requirement for you to see an object using the microscope is light. The amount of light will determine the visibility of the specimen.
A compound light microscope is commonly used to see the nucleus of a cell due to its ability to magnify small structures within a cell, such as the nucleus. This type of microscope uses visible light to illuminate the sample and produce an image.
A compound light microscope can be used to see living organisms. This type of microscope uses visible light and lenses to magnify the image of the specimen, allowing scientists to observe living cells and organisms in detail.
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.

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.
A scientist would use a high-powered electron microscope to see an atom. This microscope uses electrons instead of light to visualize objects at the atomic scale. Due to the smaller wavelength of electrons compared to light, the electron microscope can achieve much higher resolution, allowing scientists to observe atomic structures.
microscope light illuminates the specimen so that you can see it
The atomic force microscope is an instrument.
Not unless your highschool has an electron microscope
Yes, you do. You cannot see an atom with the naked eye; it is too small.
You Need a really powerful Microscope
Scientists see a blur when they look at an atom under a microscope because the size of atoms is on the scale of a few tenths of a nanometer, which is smaller than the wavelength of visible light. This means that the light waves cannot resolve the details of the atom's structure, leading to a blurred image.
No, you need a florescent microscope to see that.
You can see chloroplasts and a nucleus under a light microscope.
