  1. atoms: scanning tunneling microscope

    molecules: same

    organelles: electron microscope? probably better technology

    organs: MRI, x-rays


  2. eyes.

    make it a good day

  3. What type of technology is used to allow us to see the following:

    atoms-- Atomic microscopes

    molecules-microscopes up to eyes (vary in size, i.e. polymers

    organelles-everything from microscopes to naked human eye

    cells-usually microscopes (human cells at least) some plant cells are visible to naked human eye (nhe)

    tissues-depending on size "chunk", micro to nhe

    organs- nhe (if you're cut open) to xray, mri, cat scans, pet scans, other medical imaging

    organ systems-- scans, cat scan

    organisms- technology used to see organisms would be like, binocoulars? lol. you can usually see them without technology (unless they are small, then atomic/disecting, electron microscopes are used)

    populations- eyes again, or mathematical means, like algos to "map" populations

    communities- same as populations

    ecosystems- ditto, more math usually

    biospheres-same as last three

    Good luck.
