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.

Can you see chromosomes with a light microscope during cell cycle?
NO light microscope can not magnify the image to see chromosomes. You can see with fluorescence microscopes to observe them during cell cycle. Light microscope is helpful to check the whole living cell.
Types of microorganisms can be seen in a light microscope?
Bacteria are the smallest of microorganisms that are visible under a light microscope. A light microscope can see things as small as 0.2 micrometres!
Why can you not see an proteins with a light microscope?
You can see some types of proteins, such as long fiberous proteins, but otherwise they're too small to see in detail with a light microscope.
Why can't you see chloroplasts under microscope?
You can see chloroplasts using a light microscope. See related link for proof.
What is the basic requirement for you to see an object using the microscope?
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.
What part of an atom is visible under the microscope?
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 part of an atom is actualley visible under the microscope?
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.
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
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
What does the light of the microscope do?
microscope light illuminates the specimen so that you can see it
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.
Do you need a microscope to see an atom?
Yes, you do. You cannot see an atom with the naked eye; it is too small.
How do you see a atom?
You Need a really powerful Microscope
Can you see a actin through a light microscope?
No, you need a florescent microscope to see that.
What structure you can see in plant cell under the microscope light?
You can see chloroplasts and a nucleus under a light microscope.
