The scanning tunneling microscope has a small probe which actually more like "feels" the size of the atoms and reads this out on a computer screen. The probe can pick up individual atoms. IBM used a STM years ago to spell I B M with uranium atoms and took a picture of it. But one does not actually directly "see" the atoms.

What type of microscope is used to show the fine detail of cell organelles as well as a spindle figured fibers and chromosomes as seen during anaphase?
compound light microscope
What type of microscope is used to view cardiac muscle?
optical microscope and TEM
What instrument used to take pictures of atoms and molecules within a substance?
an electron microscope
What type of microscope can be used to view non living specimens?
The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.
What is the difference of compound microscope to digital microscope?
The compound microscope is the simple microscope used in the early days for higher magnification to view specimens such as cells. The compound microscope is the standard microscope used commonly nowadays. The digital microscope is a type of optical microscope which makes use of camera and optics to be able to view the images from the microscope to the computer.
What piece of the apparatus would be used to show that a tissue contains cell of the same type?
microscope
What piece of apparatus would be used to show that a tissue contains cell of the same type?
microscope
Can compound microscopes see atoms?
No. No matter how powerful an optical microscope is, it can never be used to see atoms. Atoms are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. You can, however, view atoms using an electron microscope.

micoscope

compound light microscope
What type of microscope is used to view the organs of an earthworm?
microscope
What type microscope is used to see cilia?
Electron microscope.
Which microscope is used to view atoms of an element?
First of all atoms are invisible we will never see them okay. But you can use a electric microscope to observe and study them. Sadly they are huge and expensive
What type of model is used to show objects that are too small or too large for the naked eye to see completely?
microscope
Which type of microscope was used to discover bacteria?
Single lens microscope
What type of microscope are used to study cells?
An optical, biological microscope.
What technique can be used to visualize individual atoms?
In 1981 the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) was invented. The STM has ultrahigh resolution and can image single atoms.
