Resolution of Dissecting Microscope - what is the resolution? (Sep/25/2005 )

I need the resolution of a dissecting microscope? Please answer me!!!

-paloma-

Can you explain better what you need?
If you need a definition, I believe it will be simple to find it on the net...
However...it is the smallest distance between two points lying on the same optical plane that can be observed as two single entities by the operator...An ordinary optical microscope has a Resolution Power of about 0.2 μm but...I don't understand what you mean with "dissecting microscope"!!!

Hope this could help!
