Magnification is a measure of the ability to enlarge the image of an object. It is calculated as the ratio of the size of the image as observed (e.g., through a microscope or on a screen) to the actual size of the specimen being viewed.
Magnification = Observed size of specimen / Actual size of specimen.
Resolution is another important concept related to microscopy, referring to the ability to distinguish between two closely spaced objects as separate entities. Magnification enlarges the image, while resolution allows for clarity and detail.
