Why is it important to know what magnification you are using?

Magnification is a detailed process, so it matters depending on what you are trying to see. Take this for an example: if you want to look at salt close up, you normally would use a low microscope, but if you want to look at it closer, you take a larger magnification.

What is an increase of an object's apparent size is?

If an object remains unchanged but appears to increase in size, we might apply the term macropsia to the phenomenon. The object just "looks" bigger for whatever reason. Things that affect an individual can affect that observer's perception. Additionally, there can be circumstances changing in the visual field that may contribute to an object's appearing to get larger. The moon tends to look larger near the horizon than higher in the sky is an example.


What is the difference between Magnification and resolving power?

magnification:-magnification is increase in the size of an object resolution:-resolution is power of a microscope to distinguish between two objects.Higher the resolution easier it will be to see between the two pints
