Suppose you are using a microscope to view two closely spaced cells. For a given lens diameter, which color of light would you use to achieve the best possible resolving power?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Blue

Option D (Blue) is correct because resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light, and blue light has the shortest wavelength.
