Question

________________ is the ability of a microscope or camera lens to separate what to the unaided eye appears to be one object into two or more objects, thus yielding details not perceptible in any other way

Answer 1

Answer: It is called Resolution.

Explanation:

Resolution is the ability of an observe to distinguish in detail between two point on a specimen with short distance as separate entities. Examples is where point sources of light appear as airy diffraction on the microscope image plane.Resolution limit refers to its ability to distinguish in detail between two closely spaced airy diffraction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Resolution.

Explanation:

This is the ability to  distinguish between two separate  points.  if two  separate points can not be seen separately, but as a single  point,  they can not be resolved.   Consequently Resolution  is the amount of  details of an object that that can be seen. Thus the more  the  higher  the resolution of an object the more  the detail of the object that can be seen.

For example the maxiimum reso;ution of  light microsope is 20nm. Therefore if two objects are placed together more than 20nm apart , they can not be seen(resolved); that is  distinguished from one another by light microscope,This is the limImitation of light microcope.

Electron microscope makes use of beam of electrons for focusing, therefore has resolution than light microscope
