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.
Resolution (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.
The 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.
The smallest amount of change that an instrument can discriminate. See Accuracy and Precision.
It means the smallest scale division on the measuring instrument that you were using.
dont have a clue. sad face- really need this for my homework aswell.
Resolution 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.
Transmission electron microscopy
Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy
Transmission electron microscopy
fluorescence microscopy can be used wit any light microscope
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 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.
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.

Microscopy Society of America was created in 1942.

Depending on what microscopy you are doing.. Bacterial microscopy starts with 40x and Blood smear microscopy at 10x.

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.
Electron microscopy gives higher resolution, but it's expensive, slow, and cumbersome. And for many things, it's not needed.
