You need to rotate the lenses round to get the best magnification then use the wheels on the side to bring it into focus. If this does not meet your requirement's then you need a better microscope.

Does the diameter of a telescope control its magnification?

No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.


How can the magnifying power of a telescope be increased?

a telescope's magnification is calculated as the ratio of the focal length of the primary objective to the focal length of the eyepiece. Since a telescope is defined by the primary objective, this part of it is essentially unchangeable. Therefore, the way to increase magnification is to decrease the focal length of the eyepiece. For example, a 1000mm objective and a 25mm eyepiece yields a magnification of (1000/25) 40x. Changing the eyepiece to a 10mm eyepiece increases magnification to (1000/10) 100x.


What would be the effect on magnification to increase the focal length of microscope and telescope?

The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.

Which type of telescope did Galileo turn skyward in 1610?

Galileo used a reflecting telescope. A reflecting telescope uses two mirrors, one facing the sky, and one reflecting the light from the first mirror

What is the power of the eyepiece?

The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed.


Does resolving power increase with magnification?

If magnification increases ONLY, then resolving power does not increase. However, if the magnification increased while staying in focus (upgrading resolution and magnification with objective lense), shorter wavelengths are needed to stay in focus with increased magnification to yield the same high resolution as with previous objective lense, so this case, resolving power does increase.

How is magnifying power of telescope and a microscope are a affected by increasing the focal length of their objectives?

The magnification of a telescope M is the the focal length of the objective Fo over the focal length of the eyepiece Fe so increasing the focal length of the objective increases the magnification. The magnification of a microscope M is approximately tube length L/Fo x 25/Fe. Therefore increasing the focal length of the objective reduces the magnification.
