How to Calculate Resolving Limit of Microscope?
Resolving Limit of Microscope calculator uses Resolving Limit = Wavelength/(2*Refractive Index*sin(Theta)) to calculate the Resolving Limit, Resolving Limit of Microscope formula is defined as a measure of the minimum distance between two points on a specimen that can still be distinguished as separate, which depends on the wavelength of light, refractive index, and angle of incidence, and is a critical parameter in determining the resolving power of a microscope. Resolving Limit is denoted by RL symbol.
How to calculate Resolving Limit of Microscope using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Resolving Limit of Microscope, enter Wavelength (λ), Refractive Index (RI) & Theta (θ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Resolving Limit of Microscope calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.6E-9 = 2.1E-09/(2*1.333*sin(0.5235987755982)).
