3. In the coming decades, Goring's distinction was the subject of much debate. In the 1860s, researchers still discussed whether Goring had been correct in applying Herschel's notion of penetrating power to the microscope, whether the function of the microscope was not completely different, and whether the term 'penetrating power' was appropriate for the microscope's optical properties
