Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct. An achromatic lens is a lens that is designed to limit the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration. An achromatic lens is used in light microscopy while an electromagnetic lens is used in electron microscopy. Resolving power refers to the capacity of an instrument to resolve two points which are close together. The resolving power of electron microscope is 0.2˚A. So, the correct answer is option D.
