Resolving power is the minimum distance between two objects or particles such that the objects are distinguishable. So for example in the case of human eyes with resolving power of 0.1 millimeter, if you bring two objects any closer to each other than 0.1 mm, our eye cannot tell if they are two separate objects or not.
Last but not least, the lower the resolving power, the higher the resolution. So because a compound microscope has a lower resolving power than human eye, it has a higher resolution.

∙ 12y agoit depends on the lense which is being used, a microscope on high power means that the lense being used is set at the maximum magnification, where as a low powered microscope means that the lense being used is zoomed out the most. most microscopes have three settings for their powers low medium and high power
