Question

The numerical aperture of microscope ranges from
Options
A 0.1 to 1.25
Correct Answer
B 0.1 to 2.55
C 0.1 to 1.05
D 0.1 to 1.85
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The numerical aperture (NA) is a critical parameter of a microscope objective lens, indicating its ability to gather light and resolve fine detail. For standard light microscope objectives, the NA typically ranges from about 0.1 for low power (e.g., 10x) to around 1.25 for high power oil immersion objectives (e.g., 100x).

Hint

This is a specific technical range for the light-gathering and resolving power of microscope lenses.
