Super-resolution light microscopes extend the resolution limits of light microscopy to
A) 0.2 to 0.5 mm.
B) 0.2 to 0.5 μm.
C) 20 to 100 nm.
D) 20 to 100 Å.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Super-resolution light microscopes break the diffraction limit of light, allowing for resolution in the range of 20 to 100 nanometers (nm), significantly finer than the traditional limit of about 200 nm (0.2 μm) for light microscopy.
