Measurement of the Resolution of the Optical Microscope.
Bowlt, C.
Physics Education, v18 n4 p178-79 Jul 1983
Outlines procedures demonstrating that the aperture of a microscope objective limits resolving power and then, by using ancillary measurements made with a calibrated graticule in the microscope eyepiece, that the experimentally determined value for the maximum resolving power of a given objective is close to the value predicted by theory.
