Could a microscope strong enough to see an atom be built?

Question

Is it plausible?

Answer 1

There is such a thing called the

'ELECTRON MICROSCOPE'.

Used for studying atomic particles.

Answer 2

Yes.

Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopes (STEM) can do this, as can Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STM) and Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM)

Answer 3

As a logical person, I would say; not possible!

My reasoning is this; You would still have to be looking through an atom, in order to see one, and I don't think the view would be very clear...
