What is the maximum resolution of the transmission electron microscope?

An electron microscope can magnify up to more than 1015 times. It is always in black and white but INSANELY detailed. It is black and white because electrons are negative(ELECTRON microscope).


What does resolving power of a microscope mean?

its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification


What is the highest possible magnification that can be obtained when using a microscope?

Objective - Ocular 40 x 10 = 4000x


What is meant by the resolving power of a microscope?

the resolution (resolving power) of a microscope means its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification. the same goes for any other optical instrument. its like watching two lines which are extremely close to each other with unaided eye and then watching them with the microscope. with the unaided eye they will appear as one line. with the microscope they will appear distinct.


What is the highest magnification power of a microscope?

This depends on the type of microscope. Scanning tunneling microscopes have resolutions at the atomic level. Not that we can see the individual atoms and their structure in a scan. This is by todays technology impossible. (It is also thought to be impossible by future technology.) We can however quite accurately pinpoint the location of individual surface atoms in various metals and alloys. This helps us understand their structure combined. If we talk about the best of the best microscopes that uses visible light, then the best magnification we can hope to achieve is approx 1.500 times. The light and its wavelength is the problem when trying for more.

What is the strongest magnification power?

depends which microscope ur using..... the strongest (not NASA's) is about 1,000x The definition of magnification power is given by the relationship: Magnification = 250 mm / f Thus, a 25-mm focal-length positive lens would be a 10x magnifier.


How many objective lenses are on the microscope?

It would depend on the microscope, however, there are usually 3 different powered objective lenses on a light microscope, the lowest being of 10x magnification, the middle being of 40/45x magnification, and the highest being of 100x magnification.

What limits the useful magnification of a compound microscope?

Several things do: 1) what magnification the ocular is (usually 10x) and the highest magnification of the objectives (usually 100x), giving you a total mag of 1000x 2) resolution, which in turn is affected by numerical aperture
