Why is there a x behind each power?

maybe its a multiplication .


What is the number followed by x on a microscope?

power


A microscope has 20 X ocular eyepiece and two objective of 10 X and 43 X respectively?

lower power= 20 x 10= 200x higher power= 20 x 43= 860x


What would be the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope that has an objective power of 40 x and an ocular lens power of 10 x?

10 x * 40x = 400x


What is the rule for the total magnification of a compound microscope?

Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification


How would you calulate the low power magnification of a microscope when it has 20 x eyepiece and two objectives of 10 x and 43 x respectively?

200x and 860x


How do you find the total magnifying power of microscope?

magnification of the eyepiece X magnification of the lens (depends on which one you choose)


Why everything to power of zero is equal to one?

x to the power a divided by x to the power b is x to the power (a - b) When a and b are equal then this is x to the power a divided by x to the power a, ie 1. x to the power (a - a) = x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other, so 1 = x to the power zero.


Is x ray a microscope?

no


If a biologist is using a microscope to observe a very small organism with the power X lens then switches to the X lens how will the appearance of the organism change?

Not at all as both times the biologist is using the "X" lens.


Which microscope can be linked to an X-ray analyzer?

SEM, scanning electron microscope


How do you write a power as a product of each factor?
