No

I have to add that "no" might not be entirely the correct answer. Here's a wiki entry about "Atomic Force Microscopes". It also includes actual pics:

It works very differently than the microscopes we are used to. It's a good read, check it out.

Are there any instruments powerful enough to magnify atoms?

FALSE


Why can atom not be seen with a powerful optical microscope?

there is and its called an scanning tunneling. ============== Sorry but this above answer is false there is NOT any instruments powerful enough to magnify atoms so that they can be seen. The model of an atom we have is a theory because we can't prove the way it looks. The Atom as we know it is just a theroy. Why would this be if we could see an atom. So again no there is NOT an instrument powerful enough to do this.


What allows scientist to look at individual atoms?

Scientists can look at individual atoms using powerful tools such as scanning tunneling microscopes or atomic force microscopes. These instruments use a fine probe to scan the surface of a material at the atomic level, providing detailed images of individual atoms.


Is Ionizing radiation powerful enough to strip electrons off of molecules forming ions?

Yes, ionizing radiation is powerful enough to remove electrons from atoms or molecules, resulting in the formation of ions. This process can lead to chemical changes in the substance being irradiated.


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.


What are the risks of nuclear reactors?

It is like a spreading atoms. When atoms is hit with another, it will spreading into other atoms and become bigger. That is why it is so powerful...


What is the name of scientific instruments which allow us to see atoms?

An atomic microscope


Why do you need a special microscope to see atoms?

Because traditional optics cannot magnify something the size of an angstrom to a level viewable by the human eye. In addition atoms move faster than a human could track.


Is atoms considered atoms?

No, an atom or atoms are concrete nouns; even if you can't see them with the naked eye, they are the building blocks, a part of everything you can see or touch. Atoms can be measured and counted with scientific instruments.

Wrong idea. Please clarify question if you can.


How do electron microscopes and other instruments form images of atoms and molecules?

to make the images ,scientists use special instruments such as electron microscopes and x-rays miscroscopes
