2. Light Microscope (LM)
The Magnification power of the LM is limited to X.
The Resolving power (resolution) of the LM is 0.2 µm.
The resolving power (resolution) is defined as the smallest distance between two particles at which they can be seen as separated objects.
Note: 1 µm = 1e-6 m

4. Electron Microscope (EM)
The Magnification power of the EM is limited to 2,000,000 X.
The Resolving power (resolution) of the LM is 0.1 nm.
The resolving power (resolution) is defined as the smallest distance between two particles at which they can be seen as separated objects.
Note: 1 nm = 1e-9 m
