Okay, I'll bite. If atoms are whirling fields of nuclear particles...and they are...then how can we "see" an individual atom?
Could be one of several things- either it's concept art, or the feilds of nuclear particles are dense enough to look solid in this photo.

Think about it this way: Of course we have to be able to see atoms- if you can't see atoms you can't see anything, and obviously there is such a thing as sight, so we must be able to see atoms.
