The major factor in light microscopy limiting resolution in practice is not so much the wavelength of light and the resolving power of microscope optics, but the scattering of iight by the specimen. This extraneous scattered light interferes with the light used to image the specimen, effectively reducing the contrast of the imaging light and causing other annoying problems, There have been several inventions dedicated to solving this problem: various forms of interference-based microscopies, confocal microscopy, and most recently, multi-photon confocal microscopy.
