Typical microorganisms are on the scale of 1 micrometers. The typical human eye can see things as small as 0.1 millimeter unaided. With a standard microscope, you can see things on a scale of 100 nanometers. (a) Can you see microorganisms with your eye? With a microscope? Justify your an- swer by writing everything in scientific notation. (b) How many times magnified does a standard microscope make something look, as compared to a bare eye?

1. In microscopy, what could be the possible reason why we cannot completely resolve the specimen under the Oil Immersion Objective (OIO) when, in fact, it was taught that the OIO has a resolving poewer? 2. When using the OIO, we can only focus on one group or parts at a time. (that is, the other parts are blurred) Whys is it so?
