Textbook Question
Chapter P.5, Problem 2P
If, because of a poor-quality objective, the light from the laser illuminating the sample in a scanning confocal microscope is focused to a larger spot,
- A. The image would be dimmer because the light illuminating the point imaged would be dimmer.
- B. The image would be blurry because light from more than one point would reach the detector.
- C. The image would be dimmer and blurry—both of the above problems would exist.

Students have asked these similar questions
Spatial frequency is often reported as the
A
number of cycles only.
B
size of a stimulus in degrees of visual angle.
C
number of cycles per degree of visual angle.
D
number of cycles per centimeter on the stimulus.
The resolving power of a refracting telescope increases with the diameter of the spherical objective lens. In
reality, it is impractical to increase the diameter of the objective lens beyond approximately 1 m. Why?
a. The resultant sagging of the mirror will cause spherical aberration.
O b. The resulting increase in light scattering from the surface of the objective lens will blur the image.
c. If the objective lens is too large, it is difficult to keep it clean.
d. The increasing size of the objective lens will cause chromatic aberration to grow worse than spherical
aberration.
O e. The spherical objective lens should be replaced by a paraboloidal objective lens beyond a 1-m
diameter.
