Resolving Power Of Microscope

Description:

Microscope

For better Microscope it should have a higher resolving power. For higher resolving power, d_min should be smaller.

• For smaller d_min, Sinβ should be greater, i.e., β should be greater, i.e., focus of the microscope should be smaller.

• For smaller d_min, λ should be small and for small λ, we need to pass the light through liquid with high refractive index μ.

The resolving power of a microscope is
