The wavelength of light used and the numerical aperture governs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength of light used and the numerical aperture of the lens used in a microscope govern the resolution, which is the ability to distinguish fine details and structures within a specimen. A shorter wavelength of light and higher numerical aperture results in a better resolution. Illumination, magnification, and size of the field are also affected by these factors, but to a lesser extent than resolution.
