The highest magnification image ever created shows a single molecule of pentacene. Pentacene is a hydrocarbon which consists of five linearly fused benzene rings and has a molar mass of 278 g. mol^-1.

Which microscope has the highest magnification *?

Out of all types of microscopes, the electron microscope has the greatest capability in achieving high magnification and resolution levels, enabling us to look at things right down to each individual atom.

Which has the highest magnification and resolution?

Different types of microscope have different resolving powers. Light microscopes let us distinguish objects as small as a bacterium. Electron microscopes have much higher resolving power – the most powerful allow us to distinguish individual atoms.
