Resolution power of a compound microscope is___________?

Correct answer: A. 2.0 ?m

  • A. 2.0 ?m
  • B. 2-4 A
  • C. 24 ?m
  • D. 24 A

Explanation

The usual resolving power of a compound light microscope is about 2.0 µm, meaning two points closer than this cannot be distinguished separately. Students may choose 2-4 Å, but angstrom-scale resolution belongs to much more powerful instruments such as electron microscopes.
