It is possible to build a light microscope capable of 10,000* magnification,but the image would not be sharp because resolution is independent of magnification.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Magnification increases the size of the image, but resolution, which is the ability to distinguish two points as separate, depends on the wavelength of light and the numerical aperture of the microscope. High magnification without matching high resolution will result in a larger but blurry image.
