Can you see an individual atom?

Answer 1

We can see atoms but only through very powerful scanning tunnel microscopes and we can only see their outer shell and not whats inside. With the aid of nanothechnology we can now even arrange atoms. But we are a long time of seeing atoms beyond their shell.

Answer 2

I have never seen an atom but i guess i can imagine it. I imagine atoms as the stretching and twisting of space and these twisting are really quantized. one cannot see these twisting but can only detect through experiments.

Answer 3

no not even a strong microscope can see it

Answer 4

Yes, but only with an electron microscope and these are hard to come across
