The answer will be TRUE.

Because The wave nature of light puts a  limit in both practical and theoretical way on the resolution of a white-light microscope at about half a wavelength of visible light, about 250 nanometers or a quarter-micron. This also limits the highest useful magnifications to the range of 1000x-2000x.

Resolution of light mainly depends on the objective lens, as an eyepiece just magnifies light from the objective. Also, to its optical quality, the width of the cone of light captured by the objective determines its resolution.
