Resolution is the shortest distance between two points at which you are able to see them as two separate entities.
Empty magnification is when you increase the magnification but the details do not get any better.
micoscopyu.com is a good site for learning about microscopes and I included the URL that talks about empty magnification.
The medical term for an instrument used to view small objects is "microscope." It is commonly used in various medical fields for examining cells, tissues, or microorganisms at a magnified level.
Resolution refers to a microscope's ability to produce a clear and detailed image by distinguishing between two distinct points. It is determined by the numerical aperture and wavelength of light used in the microscope.
In science, the term "microscope field" refers to the area or magnified region that is visible through a microscope lens at any given time. It represents the specific part of the sample or specimen that is being observed under the microscope. The size of the microscope field can vary depending on the magnification and the type of microscope being used.
The term that refers to the power of a microscope is "magnification." Magnification indicates the degree to which the image of an object is enlarged when viewed through a microscope, providing details that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Aniseikonia is the term given to the magnified vision in the eye.

The other term for a stereoscopic microscope is a dissecting microscope.

Parfocal.
Parfocal is the term used to describe the feature of a microscope that allows for switching between objective lenses with minimal or no need for refocusing. This is a convenient feature that helps maintain focus when switching between different magnifications.
The first scientist to describe a living cell through a microscope was Robert Hooke in 1665. In his book "Micrographia," Hooke observed cells in cork and coined the term "cell" to describe the structures he saw.
The term "compound" refers to the microscope's use of multiple lenses in its optical system. A compound light microscope uses two sets of lenses to magnify the image: the objective lens near the specimen and the eyepiece lens near the observer's eye. This design allows for greater magnification and clearer imaging than a simple light microscope.
