Have you seen that movie "Horton Hears a Who!".
Ok! I know the book came first but I have only seen the movie. In the movie, an elephant named Horton tries to protect a microscopic world of living beings (living on a speck of dust) from his friends and neighbors who refuse to believe it exists. One would wonder how elephant and the guy from the microscopic community could speak the same language, but don't put your brain into it, it is just a movie.
Let us assume we discover a microscopic world of our own. Would we ever be able to see those creatures. That would totally depend on how big or small those teeny tiny creatures are. Like we see ants and all. But here I am talking about microscopic (remember; ten to the power minus 6)
Not everyone keeps a microscope at home. Can we see it with our naked eyes?
Our eyes can see any object how ever small if it emits or reflects enough light to trigger a signal in our eye's receptors. So what is limited with our vision is the resolution. Human eyes (and the best one of those) can distinguish between two fine hairlines kept at 0.026 mm separation. No, I am not taking of mine, I can barely see the two threads of noodles.
We have traveled in both directions, we know an observable universe which is as big as
88,00000,00000,00000,00000,00000 m (after 88 it is 25 zeroes) and electron on other hand of size one divided by 100000,00000,000000. And electron is not the smallest one. The smallest confirmed particle is neutrino 'ghost particles'.
Standard IX has a detailed description on microscopic elements like Cells in biology and Atoms in Physics or Chemistry. When I was in standard IX there was only two microscope in Biology Lab for the entire school. And once I got lucky to have to look at an onion peel under the microscope. No I could not see the nucleus part at all. It looked like something this

By the way if you did not knew, Nucleus or Core is an almost round object at the center of any other round object. It is does not necessarily have to be round always. Earth has a core, atom has a nucleus and cell also has a nucleus. Even nucleus (of a cell) has a nucleus (called Nucleolus).
There is no end on either sides.Remember, Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
