With what color light would you expect to be able to see the greatest detail when using a microscope?
A) blue, because it is brighter
B) red, because of its long wavelength
C) blue, because of its shorter wavelength
D) red, because it is refracted less than other colors by glass
E) The color makes no difference in the resolving power, since this is determined only by the diameter of the lenses.
