When are two object just resolved ? Explain . How can the resolving power of a compound microscope be increased ? Use relevant formula to support your answer .

Answer» When two objects placed nearby and their separate and distinct clean image is formed by an instrument the objects are resolved. Here, central maxima of diffraction pattern of one lies on `1^(st)` secondary minima of the other.
Resolving power of a microscope `= 1/d = 2mu (sin theta)/(lambda)`.
Increasing `mu` and `theta` increases resolving power and decreasing `lambda`.
