# What is everything made of?, sentence 4

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Nobody has seen an atom with bare eyes, but careful experiments over two hundred years showed they are real, and special microscopes can now map single atoms.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Nobody, careful experiments, atoms, special microscopes · **What happens:** see, show, be, map · **To what, where:** atom, single atoms · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «What is everything made of?» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Nobody, careful experiments, atoms, special microscopes), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
