← HistoryWhich consequence results when early compound microscopes suffered from spherical aberration?
A)Images appeared distorted and blurred✓
B)Chromatic fringes severely lowered resolution
C)Samples were intensely overheated damage
D)Magnification power was severely limited
💡 Explanation
Spherical aberration affected early microscopes because imperfect lens curvature caused light rays at edges to focus differently than those at the center, resulting in blurry images; therefore image clarity suffered, rather than chromatic issues or thermal problems.
