micrometer - one millionth of a meter nanometer - one billionth of a meter resolution and contrast - two critical factors that influence our ability to see an object resolution - the distance between two objects at which the objects still can be seen as separate greater - the closer two objects are to each other the __________________ the resolution requirement contrast - the difference in light absorbance between two areas (objects) lower - the ________________ the contrast b

A nanometer is defined as: - 10-9 A nanometer is defined as one-billionth of a meter True or False: A nanometeris longer than a micrometer - False. A nanometer is 1,000 times smaller than a micrometer. Resolution and contrast are two critical factors that influence your ability to see an object. Explain each. - Resolution refers to the distance between two objects at which the objects still can be seen as separate.
