Unfortunately no.
The cosmic background radiation occurred at a time when the formation of atoms began to occur and photons were being emitted through energy transitions of electrons in atoms. The microwave background radiation is due to the extreme red shift of these photons which highlights their age (about 400,000 years after the BB). The first galaxies came into existence about 500 million years later.
