Magnification and Resolution
Magnification is how much bigger a sample appears to be under the microscope than it is in real life.
Overall magnification = Objective lens x Eyepiece lens
Resolution is the ability to distinguish between two points on an image.
·<Tab/>The resolution of an image is limited by the wavelength of radiation used to view the sample.
