Chapter 3, Problem 2A
Summary Introduction
To write:
The use of a good compound light microscope with a resolving power of 0.3 mm, a 10x and a 100x oil immersion lens.
Given:
“Compound light microscope” and “resolving power”
Introduction:
A compound microscope is consists of two convex lenses with shorter focal length, used to magnify the tiny objects. The resolving power of the compound microscope is 0.2µm and magnification power is 2000x.
