The resolution from a usual microscope (aka compound Light Microscope) is much less than that of a scanning electron microscope. Apparently, an electron microscope's resolution would be better than 1 nanometer, to which a casual microscope compares with a practical resolution of at best 200 nanometers. And of course, the lower the length's resolution, the better the resolution itself.
