What is the effect of decreased resolution on microscopic images?

When resolution decreases in microscopic imaging, it directly affects the clarity and sharpness of the images produced. Lower resolution means that the ability to distinguish between fine details is reduced, leading to a lack of definition. As a result, the images will appear blurry because the distinguishing features and edges of the structures are not clearly defined. This blurriness can make it difficult to observe critical details necessary for accurate interpretation, analysis, and diagnosis in the laboratory setting. Therefore, clearer images, which would allow for better observation, are highly dependent on maintaining adequate resolution.
