<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2604711, member: 15199"]There is a difference between 'magnification' and resolution, Magnify a pinpoint at 10X to 1000X and you do not see more details, just the limits @ 10X (very very slight blur ) to 1000X ( that very slight blur is now 100X more blurry) But if the 1000X lens are optimized for that, the resolution is much better and more details will be seen accurately. Same as using a 10g x.01 balance and a 10g X .0001 balance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the lowest resolving component in the chain of magnification using the human eye is - The human eye . It is just a single simple flexible mass of cells. At yours and my age, photography is the only way to be very accurate. The brain's visual mechanisms are also not 100% in perception. In my class I use 'Photoshop(tm)' as a comparison, the brain makes things appear as we wish it . We wish our own better than others~ naturally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
