The light would be focused with a blue halo.
No ten thousand is too far, given the wavelength of light, the limiting factor for optical microscopes. Perhaps a 1200 magnification is the practical limit for a simple light microscope.
Because blue light has a shorter wavelength than most of the other wavelengths of visible light, so there's less diffraction more details of the object will be visible under blue light.
optical microscope
Robert Hooke invented the first light microscope
1. To provide a stable platform, so that the eye can more easily stay focused on the object. 2. To exclude external light sources.
Resolving power of microscope is inversely related to the wavelength of the light used. So shorter the wavelength, greater the resolving power.
The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
A blue filter only allows shorter wavelengths of light to pass. So, covering the light source of a light microscope with a blue filter shortens the wavelength of light passing through the objective.
Changes in resolution with wavelength (light microscope) ... power improves as the wavelength of the illuminating light decreases. ...

An electron microscope bombards its target with electrons, while a traditional microscope uses visible light. Electrons can be resolved at considerably higher magnifications that visible light (due to their smaller wavelength).
In a light microscope the resolution of the image it can project is limited by the distance each photon travels in its wavelength. Beneath this minimum distance, the "noise" of the photon's movement along its path overwhelms any resolution the light source may otherwise provide.
Viruses. They are smaller than the average wavelength of light and as such are not viewable unless an electron microscope is used.

The smallest particle that can be seen with a light microscope is about 0. 2 microns. If an object is smaller than that, the light's wavelength cannot traverse it causing it to fall out of the visible spectrum.
Anything that is smaller than the wavelength of light, thatmeans that it is smaller than light and therefore is not visible, at all, to know it exists an electron microscope must be used which captures a reflection of the object a scanning electron microscope uses a computer to make the image
