The factor by which an image appears to be enlarged.
MAGNIFICATION
The image formed is enlarged to a particular degree called the
“Power of Magnification”
the ability of a lens to show two adjacent objects as
discrete entities.
Resolution or Resolving Power
Degree to which detail in specimen is retained in a magnified image.
Resolution
The minimum distance between two visible bodies at which they can be seen as separate is the
“Limit of Resolution”
Resolution is best when?
LR is Low
