← HistoryWhich limitation occurred when early microscope lenses experienced flaws?
A)Increased spherical lens aberration✓
B)Decreased optical path length
C)Elevated chromatic lens dispersion
D)Minified refractive index gradient
💡 Explanation
The increased spherical lens aberration occurs because imperfect lens grinding caused uneven refraction, thereby distorting the original object’s perfect point; therefore, spherical aberration blurred edges showed details, rather than achieving true high resolution.
