They magnify the slide you are viewing. The low power is usually 4X and the high power might be 10X. When you combine it with the power of the eye piece (multiply) then you have the total magnification. 40X or 100X

How does the procedure for using the microscope differ under high power as opposed to low power?

use the fine adjustment knob to get a better view of what you are looking at.For low power you can use the coarse adjustment and fine adjustmentfor high power you should only use the fine adjustment because on high power, the objective lens is too close to the slide and using the coarse adjustment may scratch the objective lens.


How is total magnification for an objective determined for your microscope?

The standard microscope is that the eyepiece is 10x magnification, and three types of powered magnification helps it magnify even more. Low power is 4x, Medium power is 10x, and High power is 40x. Eyepiece and Low power is 40x, Eyepiece and Medium power is 100x, and Eyepiece and High power is 400x magnification in revolance to the naked eye.

What is the effect of changing from lower power objectives to higher power objectives?

Low power objective magnifies the object by 10 times, whereas high power objective magnifies 40 times. When we change from low power to high power, the object appears larger, exactly 4 times larger than low power. Low power objective covers a larger area, whereas high power covers a smaller area.
