Technically, every picture is of atoms.

And also comprised of atoms...

It’s a (very) long exposure of a single atom moving around  iirc.

Technically, every picture is just of electrons, since they’re spinning so fast they obscure the nucleus.

/I remember hearing this in high school and it blowing my mind

Technically you’re seeing photons being emitted from an atom because a laser (aka photon beam) is exciting it.

Then again everything you see is photons.

So?

But not perceived by atoms...
