Resolving power of light microscope is

Resolving power of light microscope is

What is the resolving power of light microscope.

The limit of resolution of microscope, if the numerical aperture of microscope is 0.12 , and the wavelength of light used is 600 nm, is

Assertion : Ultra-violet light is used to achieve high resolving power. Reason: Resolving power of microscope increases with the decrease of wavelength of light used.
