Microscope resolution improved by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Microscope resolution improved by:
A. Oil immersion
B. Longer wavelength light
C. Smaller numerical aperture
D. Lower magnification
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Oil immersion increases numerical aperture (NA) by matching refractive indices, improving resolution d = λ/(2NA). Memory tip: 'Higher NA or shorter λ ⇒ better resolution'. Optical instrument concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
