Question

10. Consider a microscope being used to examine nanoparticles that are about 10 nm in diameter. The nanoparticles are 250 nm apart. You have access to yellow (580 nm), green (520 nm), and blue (450 nm) light to illuminate the sample. Which illumination, if any, can be used to distinguish the nanoparticles as two separate things?

Step 1

The Rayleigh criterion states that two objects can be distinguished if they are separated by a distance greater than or equal to: $d \ge \frac{0.61\lambda}{NA}$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light and $NA$ is the numerical aperture of the microscope. We Show more…
