The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of $\theta = 5.8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ rad}$ and a typical photo printer prints a minimum of $300 \text{ dpi}$ (dots per inch, $1 \text{ inch} = 2.54 \text{ cm}$). At what minimal distance $d$ should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots (in $\text{ cm}$)?

If the red light is replaced by blue light illuminating the object in a microscope, the resolving power of the microscope:
