Not really. We can "trace the outline" of a single atom using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), but that's it. The STM can investigate the atomic surface structure of a prepared sample using an extremely fine probe and some tight electronics with computer control. Use the link to see what Wikipedia says about this piece of gear. That link is below.

Sure, everything you see is made of atoms, therefore you can see things made of atoms.

But the atoms themselves are too small to see without using special types of microscopes: e.g. atomic force microscope, scanning tunneling microscope.
