Question

The
of a microscope refers to the ability to distinguish clearly between two
adjacent, but distinct, objects.

Answer 1

Answer:

resolution

Explanation:

Resolution is the ability of the lenses in the microscope to clearly distinguish between two adjacent objects as distinct and separate.

A compound light microscope has a maximum resolution of 0.2 µm, which means it can clearly distinguish between two adjacent, but distinct objects. Any objects closer than 0.2µm will be seen as 1 object.
