Define resolution and magnification and explain the differences between these terms , with
reference to hjwr
microscopy and electron microscopy

Magnification
Magnification is how
many
times
bigger
the
image of specimen
a observed is in
comparison to the actual size
of the
specimen
.




A
light microscope has two types of hens :

Resolution
→ the to
distinguish two separate points
ability
The resolution
of light muioswpe is limited by the wavelength of light
a



↳ as light passes through the specimen it is diffracted
↳ the longer the wavelength the more diffraction

higher resolution and magnification
Electron have much
microscopes a


↳ much smaller wavelength than visible light
↳ can be much closer before diffracted beams
overlap
