GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Maximum usable magnification With any telescope or microscope, or a lens a maximum magnification exists beyond which the image looks bigger but shows no more detail. It occurs when the finest detail the instrument can resolve is magnified to match the finest detail the eye can see.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnification is the ability to make small objects seem larger, such as making a microscopic organism visible. Resolution is the ability to distinguish two objects from each other. Light microscopy has limits to both its resolution and its magnification.

Detailed explanation-3: -Invented in the 1930s, typical electron microscopes are capable of peering into a panoply of biological and inorganic specimens such as microorganisms, cells, metals and crystal structures, with magnifications of up to 10, 000, 000x.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnification is the ability of a microscope to produce an image of an object at a scale larger (or even smaller) than its actual size. Magnification serves a useful purpose only when it is possible to see more details of an object in the image than when observing the object with the unaided eye.
