The act, operation, or process of resolving. Specifically: (a) The act of separating a compound into its elements or component parts. (b) The act of analyzing a complex notion, or solving a vexed question or difficult problem., The state of being relaxed; relaxation., The state of being resolved, settled, or determined; firmness; steadiness; constancy; determination., That which is resolved or determined; a settled purpose; determination. Specifically: A formal expression of the opinion or will of an official body or a public assembly, adopted by vote; as, a legislative resolution; the resolutions of a public meeting., The state of being resolved or firm in opinion or thought; conviction; assurance., The act or process of solving; solution; as, the resolution of an equation or problem., A breaking up, disappearance; or termination, as of a fever, a tumor, or the like., The passing of a dissonant into a consonant chord by the rising or falling of the note which makes the discord.

∙ 15y agoResolution (also called resolving power) is the amount of detail that you can see in the image produced by an optical instrument. The term is applied, for example, to camera lenses as well as to microscopes.
Resolution is different from magnification. You can project the image from a microscope onto a screen, making it much bigger. That is increasing the magnification. However, you will not see any more detail, so there is no increase in resolution.
If two cellular objects are close together, a microscope with low resolution may show them as a single object, whereas one with high resolution will clearly show them to be separate.
The resolution of a microscope is limited by physics. Thus the highest resolution possible with a light microscope, using oil immersion, is 0.22 μm (= 220 billionths of a meter). So if two objects are any closer than this, it will never be possible to see them as separate using light microscopy.

∙ 11y agoThe higher is the resolution allows you to watch smaller objects. That's the same of resolution of digital cameras, I suppose. Such optical resolution is determined by the lens and other mechanisms. However, there are some types of Microscopes that works using different methods of observation. Electronic microscope is one of the most powerful. It is capable to display the tiniest cells and even viruses.

∙ 12y agodont have a clue. sad face- really need this for my homework aswell.

∙ 12y agoResolution is how clear the object is that you are viewing with a microscope. You are limited by your resolution when you can not get the object you are viewing to focus.

Which type of microscopy is used for colorless specimens?
Transmission electron microscopy
Which type of microscopy is useful for viewing colorless specimens?
Transmission electron microscopy
What does FESEM mean in electron microscopy?
Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy
An advantage of fluorescence microscopy over staining techniques is that?
fluorescence microscopy can be used wit any light microscope
What is the difference between phase-contrast microscopy and bright-field microscopy?
Phase-contrast microscopy is the observation of internal structures of living microbes where as bright field microscopy is the observation of killed stained specimens and naturally colored live ones.
Introduction in basic techniques in microscopy?
Introduction to basic techniques in microscopy involves light microscopy, laser scanning, types of dyes, the cell, electron microscopy, differential interface microscopy, histological stains and histochemical stains.
What is Dark field microscopy?
Dark field microscopy (dark ground microscopy) describes microscopy methods, in both light and electron microscopy, which exclude the unscattered beam from the image. As a result, the field around the specimen (i.e. where there is no specimen to scatter the beam) is generally dark.
Does light microscopy offer better magnification than electron microscopy?
No
Which type of microscopy is used for colorless specimens?
Transmission electron microscopy
When was Microscopy Society of America created?
Microscopy Society of America was created in 1942.
What does FESEM mean in electron microscopy?
Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy
Which type of microscopy is useful for viewing colorless specimens?
Transmission electron microscopy
At what total magnification should you begin to look at a sample?
Depending on what microscopy you are doing.. Bacterial microscopy starts with 40x and Blood smear microscopy at 10x.
What has the author Robert F Bils written?
Robert F. Bils has written: 'Electron microscopy' -- subject(s): Electron microscopy, Laboratory manuals, Microscopy, Electron
What is the definition of the term fluorescence microscopy?
The term "fluorescence microscopy" is a type of light microscopy in which the specimen is irradiated at wavelengths that excite fluorochromes. In medicine, it is used to detect antigens.
Light microscopy and electron microscopy differences in practical use?
Electron microscopy gives higher resolution, but it's expensive, slow, and cumbersome. And for many things, it's not needed.
