- Magnification is the increasing in size of an object and in microscopy magnification is the lense times the objective lense e.g objective is x40 and the other lense is x10 the overall magnification is x400.
- Resolution is the ability to distinguish between two separate points. The Higher the resolution the easier it will be to see between the two points.
