The resolving power of an optical instrument depends on the wavelength of the light used. An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons. Its resolving power can be increased if we:

  • A
    Increase the accelerating voltage.
  • B
    Decrease the accelerating voltage.
  • C
    Use protons instead of electrons.
  • D
    Increase the intensity of the electron beam.
