My 6th grade teacher in 1996, and a few other teachers remarked we may never get to observe atoms directly they're so small. Being a rebellious little shit I would counter, well if they could observe DNA molecule shape in the 60's, we ought to at some point observe directly. But he was amazed that I was able to get imported Swiss chocolate from at the time ZCMI and for the science fair bring in an ultra violet light that he said were hard to come by, but my dad being an amateur gold prospector and other geological mineral collector like geode rocks, quarts crystals, etc. my dad had a couple UV lights. My 6th grade science fair project was on the various wave lengths of the EM spectrum from visible light to UV to radio EM. And using mirrors and other medium to cause refraction, reflection, diffraction, etc. I would have included Rayleigh scattering had I known burning candles, candle smoke, you can observe the blue light scattering effect.
