Which of the following statements regarding resolution is true?
A. In order to achieve high magnification with good resolution, a small objective lens must be used.
b. The white light used in a compound light microscope has a relatively short wavelength in order to resolve structures smaller than 0.002 µm.
c. A general principle of microscopy is that the shorter the wavelength of light used in the instrument, the lower the resolution.
d. Resolution (resolving power) is calculated by multiplying the objective lens power by the ocular lens power.
Answer: A. In order to achieve high magnification with good resolution, a small objective lens must be used.
