The resolving power of a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of visible light. Shorter wavelengths allow for better resolution to distinguish closely - spaced objects. Visible light has relatively long wavelengths compared to other forms of radiation, restricting the ability to distinguish very closely spaced objects. Pigmented or colored specimens can be observed with light microscopes, and not all samples need to be dehydrated and fixed for light microscopy.
