Well there is only one definition of seeing anything, other than the perception of the observer.

Now detecting on the other hand, that is the key word here. We detect the presence and existence of atoms in the same way we determine the chemical properties of objects 100's of light years from out planet through spectroscopy, which most times the object being measured ALSO can not be seen.
