00:01 Hello students, we want to understand the difference between magnification and resolution of a microscope.
00:09 Now, when we talk of magnification, we mean that how big a small object is seen.
00:26 How big a small object is seen, the degree to which a small object can be seen much bigger is referred to as magnification.
00:34 Now, as far as compound microscope is concerned, it can show a magnification of 40x to 1000x, whereas electron microscopes range from 10x to 5 lakh x.
00:44 Now, resolution is another feature of a microscope which means that how two closely spaced entities can be seen as separate objects...
