The Icon that looks like an eye will allow you to "Inspect the matching DOM element". The last of the four icons, which looks like this <>, will allow you to view the source for the element.
also you can go to the settings tab then under the Components tab get ride of all filters in "hide components where.." that should allow you to see the tree.
Hope this helps!
