What Is The Resolving Power Of Optical Instrument? Resolving power is the ability of an imaging device to separate (i.e., to see as distinct) points of an object that are located at a small angular distance or it is the power of an optical instrument to separate far away objects, that are close together, into

What Is The Resolution Of A Light Microscope? Lateral resolution in an ideal light microscope is limited to around 200 nm, whereas axial resolution is around 500 nm (for examples of resolution limits, please see below). Is the resolution of a light microscope high? Even though 200 nanometers is considered the optimal resolution for optical
