Best Answer

Blue light

has the shortest

wavelength

of the visible spectrum. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the resolution one can achieve with a

light microscope

.



The resolution using only blue light is about 4 times better than with using all the wavelengths of visible light.

What is the different between light microscope and compound light microscope?

Answersimple first one is: their both different in quality. For example, a light microscope would use sunlight as its source of power,and therefore less effective.
