hlo frd it is a very good question we can't see the atom by ordinary Microscope because the size of individual atom is very smaller then the wavelength of light and we all know we can see only those things which have size comparable to the wavelength of light now there are some microscope by which we are able to see the atom like @@@@@@@@tunneling scanning microscopes for atoms
17th century, and first experiments using visible light were done in late 18th and early 19th century. Upon discovery of X-raysand realization that their nature is the same as that of light, only with much shorter wavelength, it was possible to test how crystals diffract this “special” light with wavelength comparable to the size of atoms, and to deduce the arrangement of atoms in them. Not quite “seeing” atoms, but relatively close.
