Can I combine photos with Photoshop to get a clearer image?

What do you mean by clearer - are you trying to reduce noise or increase resolution?

You can reduce some noise (where the noise varies between images but the content does not)  by putting the individually aligned images into a smart object and using the mean stacking mode

Attached discusses a technique to increase resolution through multiple images - relying on slight movement between each image

We can help further if you describe more fully what you are trying to do.
