Why is blue light used to view tiny objects in an optical 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.

What would happen if you set up a microscope so light with a blue wavelength is focused?
The light would be focused with a blue halo.
What is an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions?
The illusion that faraway objects fade to blue, or even the simple fact that the sky is blue, are atmospheric illusions.
What objects scatter light?
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.

What things are the color light blue?
The sky is light blue as well as a light blue delphinium flower.

Why can better resolution be achieved with an optical microscope using blue light rather than red light?
because blue light travels further than red light in the spectrum of colours :)
What covers the light of a microscope to shorten the wavelength?
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.

Imagine you are on a strange new planet All the lights in this planet is greenAll the objects are blue What color do the objects appear to be?
Since blue objects absorb the green light, the objects appear black.
What is the essential difference between biological and metallurgical microscope?
Why some times we use blue and red fllters with the illumination system of an optical microscope?

Which surface are light rays reflected?
Any opaque or translucent surface will reflect light rays. The rays that are reflected are the one that you see- something blue would reflect blue light. IF the object is Opaque the rest of the light is absorbed. If it is translucent some light is absorbed while some passes through. Black objects absorb all colours of light while white objects reflects all colours of light. There are also some special objects such as mirrors that are highly reflective a produce an image by reflecting back the rays of light emitted from other objects.
Why does the color blue look green at a distance?
The way you see colors (or colours, if you prefer the British spelling) depends on the light at the moment. Blue objects may appear green or teal if the light that's cast upon them is yellow, for example, in a room illuminated by incandescent light bulbs. Those same blue objects may appear purple if the light has a red tint to it, for example at sunrise or sunset.
Why would be it advantageous to use blue light with compound microscope?
Blue lighthas the shortestwavelengthof the visible spectrum. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the resolution one can achieve with alight microscope.The resolution using only blue light is about 4 times better than with using all the wavelengths of visible light.
