Best Answer

Concave lenses are used in the eyepieces of microscopes. However, they are not used alone on the eyepiece, but are joined in a concave-convex combination to prevent internal reflections.

What is low power objective in a microscope?

A low power objective in a microscope is a Small Lens with Low Magnifying Power. A microscope head with two eyepiece lenses, one for each eye. Generally this term is used in describing a high power (compound) microscope. With a low power microscope we say "stereo" head because, unlike the compound microscope, the stereo has a separate objective lens for each eyepiece lens, producing two independent paths of light, one for each eye. In the compound microscope with a binocular head, there are two eyepiece lenses but still only one objective lens and you will not get stereo vision. Hope this helps.

What is the total magnification if you only use the eyepiece?

it's impossible to just use the eyepiece without an objective lens, but the eyepiece alone is 10x.


How do you find the total magnifying power of a microscope?

MP=(d/L)*(1-(L-l)f) where d would be the distance from the eye to the image without a lens L is the distance from the eye to the new virtual image (with a lens) l is the distance from the eye to the lens this equation only covers a single lens (whereas there tend to be two in a microscope), but that's no worry; use it twice! (i.e treat both lenses as independent sources of the image)
