What Do Antigens Look Like?

Im curious in seeing one under a microscope. google images just has artist interpretations and wikipedia portrays them like lego building blocks. kinda curious to seeing various forms of antigens if anyone knows where to get some good pics? 

I found some electron micrographs of cells with antigens on their surface but it is not clear that any particular feature on the surface corresponds to an antigen molecule. Since an antigen is a molecule, it will generally be too small to see by microscopy, I think.
