Question: Microscopes are used to look at small objects that are close to you, and telescopes are used to look at small objects that are far

Microscopes are used to look at small objects that are close to you, and telescopes are used to look at small objects that are far away from you.
1) The bacterium E. Coli measures 1 micron across. What minimum numerical aperture is required to resolve a single bacterium? (hint: to resolve an object, the blur circle diameter is at most 0.5 x the size of the object)
2) It is thought that a space-based surveillance telescope (200 km altitude) can resolve grapefruit-sized objects on the Earth's surface. What is the required diameter of the telescope?
