Your microscope has a resolving power of 0.15 $\mu$m.The specimen that you will be observing has bacterial cocci the size of 0.1 $\mu$m in diameter.Which of the following statements is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resolving power of the microscope is 0.15 µm, which is larger than the size of the cocci (0.1 µm). This means the microscope cannot distinguish between points that are closer together than 0.15 µm, so the cocci will appear fuzzy and blend together.
