Does the magnifying power of a microscope depends on the wavelength of colour used?

Does the magnifying power of a microscope depends on the wavelength of colour used?

Text Solution

Solution : Magnifying power of a compound microscope is `M = (L)/(f_0)(1 + (d)/(f_e))` <br> As `f_0 and f_e` both depend on colour of light, therefore, magnifying power of a microscope does depend upon colour of light.
