However, classically the resolution of all of these light microscopic modes used to be far below that of the electron microscope, and only some recent approaches have made significant progress in resolu-tion increase WHAT IS RESOLUTION? The term ‘resolution’ has to be discriminated from ‘sensitivity’, ‘sampling’ and ‘precision’
Until very recently the performance of the surface scanning electron microscope operating in the secondary emission mode has been determined fundamentally by the limited brightness obtainable from the commonly used tungsten hairpin cathode This has imposed a resolution limit of the order of 10 nm, being deter-
limit to resolution based on this angle was developed by Lord Rayleigh in the 19th centur y The Rayleigh criterion for the di raction limit to resolution states that two images are just resolvable when the center of the di raction pattern of one is directly over the rst minimum of the di raction pattern of the other See Figure 2(b)
resolution of fluorescence light microscopy while keeping its major advantages remains a pivotal challenge Classical ways to enhance the resolution of light microscopy The practically achieved resolution depends on many factors and reaches the theoretical limit only under optimal conditions The

• Resolution limit of optical microscopes is due to the light diffraction; roughly optical resolution can be estimated as wavelength λ/2NA (NA is the numerical aperture of lens, usually ~ 1 0): for white light, average wavelength is around 500 nm, the best resolution is thus a few hundreds nm
