it doesnt matter because humans can only see at 20 frames per second

Mirror does not consist from pixels. Light wave is reflected from the surface, so initial amount of photons are the same as is coming to the eyes directly. There is little loss, but it would be inaccurate to say that it affects to the accuracy in any meaningful way.
>>
>>7944482
So a mirror reflects a nearly perfect image that's a lot more accurate than what an electron microscope can image, for example?
>>
>>7944553
wait, do you think there are "small photons" and "big photons" ???
>>
>>7944569
Of course there are big photons. That's what dark matter is made of.

The same res as real life

I was thinking of wavelengths.

Mirrors don't reflect every wavelenght the same way. It's just aluminum for regular mirrors.
>>
>>7944596
that would work though

you would lose about 0.0000000000001 percent of light intensity through absorbtion considering you would use industrial grade mirrors and a really tiny package of air between the microscope and the glass plates. Which would be more than enough to reach a microscoping level of magnification.

numbers are discovered retard, not made up. learn some phiolosphy

I don't know which one of you is dumber.
>>
>>7944694
its the other guy. he doesnt know basic microscopology and trying to insert hypothetical problems just to say you cant see atomic levels with mirrors and a microscope
>>
>>7944698
>I take the bait

well fuck me.

I know who is.
>>
>>7944698
If it's so easy, why hasn't it been done yet?
