| Front | What is the general rule of the limit of resolution? |
|---|---|
| Back | One half the wavelength of radiation used to view the specimen //this means if an object is any smaller than half the wavelength of the radiation used to view it, it can't be seen separately from nearby objects eg: best resolution of a light microscope is 200nm since the shortest wavelegth of visible light is 400nm |
