Best Answer

The ability to distinguish close objects is called resolution or resolving power.

It is important in microscopy as well as in other fields involving optical instruments, such as Photography.

A light microscope, using a high-power objective with oil immersion, can achieve a resolution of about 0.2 μm (micrometers). An electron microscope has, in practice, a resolving power about 100 times that, namely 1 to 2 nm (nanometers).
