A scientist is observing a bacteria through a compound microscope. For better analysis and to improve its resolving power he should. (Select the best option)
Solution
<p>Resolving power of microscope $= \left( {{{2n\sin \theta } \over \lambda }} \right)$</p>
<p>$n\sin \theta$ = Numerical aperture</p>
<p>$n$ is the refractive index of medium.</p>
