In order to increase the resolution, the specimen must be viewed using either shorter wavelength (λ) light or through an imaging medium with a relatively high refractive index or with optical components which have a high numerical aperture (NA). thus, resolution of microscope in inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light used. Δd=2nsinθλ Where, λ= wavelength n= refractive index θ= half angle subtended Δd= shortest distance.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A), and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to package the materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum and deliver it to intracellular targets and outside the cell. Reason (R) : Vesicles containing materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, and they are modified and released from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
