How is the total magnification of a microscope determined?
Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.
What is the function of the higher power objective on a microscope?
To increase the magnification of the specimen so you can see more detail.
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 formula for calculating total magnification on a microscope?
To determime total magnification of a drawing you devide the dimensions of the drawing by the dimensions of the real object or specimen drawn Mathematically Magnification =Dimensions of drawing/dimensions of specimen
What is a cylindrically shaped attachment on the revolving nose piece of a compound light microscope near the specimen?
The objective lens magnifies the specimen, producing a real image that is then magnified by the ocular lens resulting in the final image; The total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the objective lens value by the ocular lens value
What is the function of the eyepiece of a microscope?
The function of the eyepiece is to allow us to observe the specimen in a microscope. It multiplies and adjusts the magnification of the objective lenses. Sometimes, it even corrects aberrations of the objective lens.
What is the part of a compound light microscope that is located directly above the specimen and that magnifies the image of th specimen?
It's the objective.
What microscope would be used to study a specimen smaller than 0.2 micrometers?
The maximum magnification of a light microscope is 2000x. Anything requiring more than 2000x magnification requires an electron microscope.
What is the function of the high power objective on a microscope?
The high power objective on a microscope increases the magnification of the specimen, which allows you to see more detail. It allows you to see a close up of only a small area of the specimen being viewed.
How big would the specimen look?
the specimen is the objective the microscope and a parts of microscope
What is the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound microscope under the 4X objective lens?
40 because you have to multiply the ocular lens times the objective lens and the ocular lens is almost always 10x i think. Hopefully it is in your case. I know our microscopes are like that. Hope this helps! :)
How is magnification calculated using simple micrroscope?
Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.
