Resolution |
The ability of a viewing instrument (eye, camera, microscope) to distinguish adjacent objects as 2 separate objects rather than one. |
|
The 2 most important factors in determining resolving power are _____________________ & ______________________. |
1. The quality of the lenses 2. The wavelength of the source of illumination |
|
Oil Immersion -- What is the refractive index? Why is this important? |
Refractive index - same as glass slide (1.5)
This is important so that the light is directed up into the lens rather than lost to the surroundings. |
|
Total magnification equation |
eyepiece x objective lens = total magnification
ex - eyepiece (10X) X Objective Lens (40X) = 400X total magnification |
