Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

There are other kinds of microscopes that have higher magnification capabilities than a bright field microscope.

A bright field microscope is limited by the diffraction limit of light. The highest magnification it can achieve is 100x (maximum 1000x when modifications are made).

Transmission electron microscopes can magnify 250-500,000 x effectively, achieving a resolution of 0.1nm
