Magnification Resolution Resolving power
Resolution - Resolving power Minimum resolvable distance (e. g. periodic spacings) Resolving power: specified minimal resolvable distance that can be obtained by the instrument Resolution: minimal resolvable distance that can be obtained with a real sample Light microscopy: 200nm; can be achieved with actual biological samples Electron microscopy: theoretically 10-3 nm, currently 0.1nm; actual resolution depends very strongly on preparation of biological samples (1nm 5nm)

Geometrical Optics of a Simple Lens a a' f f' y F F' 1. A light ray passing through the center of a lens is not deviated y' 2. A light ray parallel with the optic axis will, after refraction, pass through the rear focal point Equations: 3. A ray passing through the front focal point will be refracted in a direction parallel to the axis. Magnification: M= y' y = n'a' n'a f' f a ' a 1 (diffractive index identical on both sides of lens)
