Chapter 4, Problem 5CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
To find the resolution of two objects at 400nm and 40nm apart by using 100× oil lens.
Introduction:
A microscope is a device used to view the magnified image of an object. There are two types of lens used in the microscope namely, the objective and the ocular lens. The ocular lens has 10× power and the objective lenses have 10×, 40×, and 100× power respectively.
The resolving power of a microscope was increased by using the immersion oil. It was attained by immersing the objective lens and the slide containing the sample in a transparent oil. The 100× objective lens is used for the oil immersion procedure.

Why don’t most light microscopes use 303 ocular lenses for greater magnification?
Using a good compound light microscope with a resolving of 0.3 micro meter a 10x ocular lens ,and a 100 x oil immersion lens, would you be able to discern two objects separated by 0.4 micro meter?0.2 micro meter? 300 neno meter ? Explain your reasoning.
Why is it important to center your object before moving to higher magnifications in a light microscope??
