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 does resolving power of a microscope mean?
its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification
What is the definition of power of magnification?
the magnification power of a microscope
Refers to the power of a microscope calculated by multiplying the power on the objective by the power on the eyepiece?
The magnification of the microscope
What is the low power magnification of a microscope?
hypotenid
How do you find the total magnifying power of microscope?
magnification of the eyepiece X magnification of the lens (depends on which one you choose)
What does resolving power of a microscope mean?
its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification
What is the definition of power of magnification?
the magnification power of a microscope
What is the power of the microscope?
The power of a light microscope can be determined by multiplying the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the current lens. Ex. (10x) by (40x) results in in a 400x magnification.
What type of microscope achieves the highest magnification and greatest resolution?
Electron microscope.Transition microscope has a magnification of *500,000 and resolution of 0.5nm.
The magnification and resolution capabilities are highest in the?
The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) has the highest magnification and resolution of all microscopes.
What is the rule for the total magnification of a compound microscope?
Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification
Refers to the power of a microscope calculated by multiplying the power on the objective by the power on the eyepiece?
The magnification of the microscope
Medium power magnification of microscope?
400x
What is the low power magnification of a microscope?
hypotenid
How do you determine the total magnification of microscope?
To determine the total magnification of a microscope you multiply the magnification power of the objectives lens (indicated as x10) by that of the eye piece.
What is the magnification power of the medium power objective?
it is 50 on my microscope.............................
Refers to the power of a microscope?
magnification, i have the same stupid puzzle, get the answers online by typing microscope mania review into google, and hitting one that says answer key.
