No. John Dalton was alive in the 1800s. There were no electron microscopes at that time.
(STM) uses an electron beam not only to image things, getting resolution at the atomic level, but actually manipulate them too -a powerful technique for viewing surfaces at an atomic level. -invented by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer -based on the concept of quantum tunneling

Atoms are incredibly small, millions of times smaller than the wavelength of visible light. This makes them impossible to see with the naked eye as they are beyond the limit of human visual resolution. Specialized instruments like scanning tunneling microscopes are needed to observe atoms.
A microscope is necessary to observe Brownian motion because the movement of particles is very small and needs to be magnified in order to be visible to the human eye. The microscope allows us to see the random motion of the particles as they collide with each other and move in a liquid or gas. Without a microscope, the individual particle movements would be too small to detect.
A microscope is used to see a magnified view of very small objects. It enables scientists to observe structures and details that are not visible to the naked eye. There are different types of microscopes, such as optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopes, each with its own set of features and capabilities.
They could use an electron microscope or an STM (scanning tunneling microscope)

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.
Scanning electron microscope.
Yes. Using a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (or some variant thereof), individual atoms can be mapped.
scanning probe
A tunneling electron microscope cannot image live specimens.
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) would be used to observe structures on the surface of an individual cell. SEM uses a focused beam of electrons to scan the surface of a sample, producing high-resolution images of the surface features of the cell.
No. Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) use electrons to view microsopic details down to the granular structure of material. Since it uses electrons, it could not detail anything the size of an Atom.
Usually, a scanning electron microscope is used to observe atoms.
You would use a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe the surface features of a bacterium. SEM provides high-resolution images of the specimen's surface by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons. This allows for detailed visualization of the bacterium's structure at a nanoscale level.
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is often used to observe pores of the skin due to its high resolution and magnification capabilities. This type of microscope allows for detailed imaging of the surface features of the skin at a micro or nanoscale level.
