Yes, it could discern all of them.

Explanation:

A compound bright field microscope can be used to illuminate samples in light microscopes. It has a very high resolution and it could detect samples as small as 200 to 300 nanometers. So, yes it could discern two objects separated by 3μm, 0.3μm, 300nm, 3000Å.
