What is the resolution power of a compound microscope?
Correct answer: A. 0.25 micrometers
- A. 0.25 micrometers
- B. 2 mm
- C. 24 micrometer
- D. 2.4 mm
Explanation
The resolving power of a microscope is defined as the reciprocal of the distance between two objects which can be resolved when seen through the microscope. Hence the resolving power of the microscope is 0.25 micrometres.
