All of the following are diameters of cells that would be resolved in a microscope with a limit of resolution of 0.2 µm except ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The limit of resolution is the smallest distance between two objects that can be distinguished as separate entities. In this case, the limit of resolution is 0.2 µm. Therefore, any object with a diameter smaller than 0.2 µm will not be resolved in the microscope. Choice B is 0.1 µm, which is smaller than the limit of resolution and therefore will not be resolved in the microscope.
