Resolution of microscope θ = \(\frac{0.61\lambda}{NA}\)

Where NA = numerical aperture

NA = n sinθ

For Good lens,

n = 1

θ = 70°

NA = 1 x sin 70°

NA = 0.94

λ = \(\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\)

λ = \(\frac{6.64\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 175 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}}\)

λ = \(\frac{6.64\times 10^{-34}}{71.38\times 10^{-25}}\)

λ = 0.093 x 10-9

λ = 0.93 x 10-10 m

λ = 0.93 Å

Resolution of microscope θ = \(\frac{0.61\times 0.93\times 10^{-10}}{NA}\)

 θ = \(\frac{0.61\times 0.93\times 10^{-10}}{0.94}\)

 θ = 0.60 x 10-10.
