Question

multiple choice question
which term refers to the ability of an objective lens to separate or distinguish between small objects that are close together?

• refraction
• magnification
• parfocality
• resolution

Explanation:

• Refraction is the bending of light through a medium, not related to distinguishing close objects.
• Magnification is the enlargement of an object's apparent size, not its ability to separate close objects.
• Parfocality describes a lens's ability to stay in focus when switching magnification levels.
• Resolution specifically refers to an objective lens's ability to distinguish between small, closely spaced objects.

Answer:

D. Resolution
