Early microscopes were indeed a single blob of glass. It was found that using one lens after another, would multiply the magnification. Most laboratory microscopes have a choice of objective lenses of different magnifications, whilst the eyepiece remains the same.

How is magnifying glass and electron microscope alike?

Both magnifying glass and electron microscope are tools used for magnifying and examining objects at a microscopic level. They both use lenses to focus light for magnification, but electron microscopes use electron beams for higher magnification and resolution compared to magnifying glass.


Why are microscopes better than a magnifying glass?

Microscopes have higher magnification power and better resolution than magnifying glasses, allowing for detailed examination of tiny objects. Microscopes also have additional features such as adjustable lighting and the ability to view objects in 3D. They are designed specifically for scientific research and analysis.

Which microscope has the greatest magnifying power?

Electron microscopes have the greatest magnifying power among microscopes, capable of magnifying up to 1,000,000x. This is because they use electron beams instead of light, allowing for much higher resolution and magnification.
