No. The resolution states how close two points can be, while you can still distinguish them as distinct points. A greater enlargement - making something look 400 times larger - may or may not help to improve the resolution. (An exaggerated enlargement may make the image larger, but blurry.)

Would a microscope that enlarges an object 400 times have a resolution of 400?

No. It would have a magnification of 400. The resolution is not directly related to the magnification. It could be higher or lower.

A microscope is an optical device which is used to view very small objects. A compound microscope enlarges images up to 1,500 times.


What is the differnece between a simple microscope and compound microscope?

A simple microscope has only one lens and can magnify an object up to 15 times the object's size. A compound microscope has two lenses and can magnify an object more than 2,000 times.

How do microscopes differ magnification and resolution?

Before we analyze exactly how microscopes differ magnification and resolution is it important to know the difference between the two. When we talk about a microscopes magnification it is a reference to how much the microscope can enlarge an image. However, when one refers to a microscopes resolution it is the ability for the microscope to produce a sharper and more clear image. Thus, resolution is the ability to tell two points apart from each other. For instance, imagine we place a small cell under a microscope. If the cell is very large it has a large magnification but that does not mean that it has a good resolution; the cell may appear fuzzy. However, by tweaking the resolution the cell can come into full detail and may be examined. Magnification is usually described as 10x or 100x, which means 10 times or 100 times the size. Resolution can be described as any unit of measure. For instance, if your microscope can make a distinction between two points that are 1 micrometer away from each other the resolution can be said to be 1 micrometer.
