When talking about the IPO and HPO, it is referring the magnification of a microscope. You can tell the difference of the two, because the LPO is shorter than the HPO.

What is lpo and hpo?

LPO or Low- Power Objective is the smallest objective while HPO or High-Power Objective is the lowest objective.


What is the meaning of fine adjustment?

it is the function of HPO or the High Power Objective


When should the HPO be use?

its use to developed baby


What happens to the image of a focused object under LPO when the objective lens is shifted to HPO?

It appears to get bigger but, is still blurry.


How do you know which is the LPO?

it is usually shorter than the HPO..


How do you know which is LPO HPO of a microscope?

The LPO will be shorter than HPO lens. LPO= magnifies 10x lenses HPO= magnifies 43x lenses


What is the magnifying power of the eyepiece used if a cell magnified 200 times under HPO?

Impossible to answer ! 200x magnification could be created by an eyepiece with 4x and an objective lens of 50x magnification - but that's just ONE example !


Function of HPO in microscope?

The Word "HPO" in Microscope stands for High Power Objective.Most standard compound microscopes use a combination of an eye piece lens and objective lenses in order to magnify an object. In the majority of these microscopes, the eye piece lens will have a magnification factor of 10 x, or ten times the original size, and the objective lens system will consist of three lenses of varying focal lengths, described as low, medium and high power objective lenses.The magnification factors (MF) of the three objective lenses are usually as follows:Low Power Objective (LPO) Lens, MF = 4 xMedium Power Objective (MPO) Lens, MF = 10 xHigh Power Objective (HPO) Lens, MF = 40 xThe total magnification possible with a standard compound microscope is the multiple of the magnification factor of the eye piece lens and the objective lens in use. In other words, total magnification using the LPO lens would be 40 times the original size, the MPO lens would achieve a total magnification of 100 times, while the HPO lens will achieve a total magnification of 400 times the original size of the object to be viewed.The HPO lens is longer, and therefore closer to to the object viewed, resulting in a narrower field of vision, making it difficult to study living, fast moving organisms. It does, however, make it possible to see details which are not visible on lower magnification on non-living specimens or slow moving living organisms. The HPO lens allows users to zoom in on specific areas of an object to be viewed and identify details not visible on lower magnifications.The function of the HPO lens on a microscope is therefore to provide maximum possible magnification in order to view and identify details which can not be discerned while viewing the object through an objective lens with a lower magnification factor.


What does offset hpo mean?

HPO = High Positive Offset


How are the numbers related to the length of the objective?

Because the length of the objectives depends on the total magnification. Example: Magnification: 50x (LPO) You can see that the lower the magnification,the length of objective is the smallest. Magnification: 500x (HPO) You can see that the higher the magnification, the length of objective is bigger than the other objectives. If the objective is lower, the number is lesser -Guinean026


Compare the total magnification of lpo hpo and oio?

LPO has a 10x magnification. HPO has a 40x magnification. OIO has a 100x magnification. LPO has the least magnification, and OIO has the largest.


What does HPO stand for?

High Performance Organization
