Question

Define the term ' Resolution '.Why is the resolving power important in microscope?

Answer 1

Answer:

Resolution:

Resolution in a microscope or telescope refers to tge shortest distance between 2 points that can be distinguised as 2 separate, distinct points by the optical instrument.

Higher resolution means 2 points can be more close but still be distinctly observed by that optical instrument.

There are many factors upon which resolution of a microscope or telescope depends like :

• Numerical aperture of instrument
• Coherence of illumination
• Aberration factors , etc

Resolving Power :

It is a smallest detail that can be resolved while imaging a specimen under the microscope. It can be synonym of Resolution.

Formula for resolving power:

Let resolving power be d ;

$\boxed{ \bold{d = 0.61 \times \dfrac{ \lambda}{(numerical \: aperture)} }}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The resolution of an optical microscope is defined as the shortest distance between two points on a specimen that can still be distinguished by the observer or camera system as separate entities.
