Resolving power is the ability of an imaging device to separate points of an object that are located at a small angular distance
its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification
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.
Since there might be problems with the specimen preparation.
The ability of a microscope to measure by separation images that would be difficult to see with the naked eye. This separation is called angular separation.
the resolving power of light microscope is 0.2 micrometr
Resolving power of microscope is inversely related to the wavelength of the light used. So shorter the wavelength, greater the resolving power.
A transmission electron microscope.
Depends which type of microscope we are talking about. The common compund light microscope has a resolving power of 0.2 micrometer or 0.0002 millimeter. In comparison the human eye's resolving power is 0.1 millimeter. 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.
That will depend whether the microscope is designed to cope with the new wavelength as well as it did with the old. For example, ordinary visible-light microscopes are useless for ultraviolet. The absolute limit to resolving power with perfect optics is about quarter of a wavelength but real microscopes fall short of this.

Around 0.2micrometers or 200 nm
Resolving Power
True!

Electron microscopes don't have the resolving power to see individual molecules.
