Why would a technician need to use a microscope with a high magnification?

It depends on what the specimen is. If for example - the specimen is a person's finger-print, then low magnification is sufficient. However - if the specimen is a sample of blood, a higher magnification would be needed to show individual blood cells.


How does magnification and resolution affect the appearance of objects viewed under a microscope?

well, if you are trying to see something microscopic, you can look though a microscope to see it. but, if the microscope is in a very high scope, ex 1000x, you need to adjust the height of the scope using a knob on the side.


How does increasing the magnification in the microscope change what you see?

Magnification relates to how large you can see an object - making small items larger than they normally appear. Resolution relates to the amount of detail you can see in the object or image. The higher the resolution, the more detail that is visible.


What lens allows greater magnification on a microscope?

please help i need this question answered I believe a bi-convex lens, that is, a lens with an outward curve on both surfaces, would provide the greatest magnification in a simple (single) lens system.


What is an example of eukaryotic microorganism?

The protists amoebae and paramecium are both eukaryote microorganisms. Especially in the sense that you need a light microscope to see them.


How to determine the total magnification when using any objective of your microscope?

Ask a jellyfish yea.....well if you don't have a jellyfish around when you need it, you can also look at the magnifier, so if a regular microscope has 4x under lwo power, it is 40x, due to 10x already when you look through the ocular piece. so medium power is 10x, would be 100 times magnified, and 40x for high is 400 times magnified.


What do you need to see an amoeba?

Some amoebas such as the Pelomyxa palustris are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Most amoebas would need to be seen under a microscope with at least 400x magnification. Filters are used as white light makes the amoebas curl into a ball and become unrecognisable.


What is the difference between ordinary microscope and electron microscope?

Magnification and resolution is in light microscope is about 500x and 0.2micro metres respectively than human eye.In e.microscope magnification is about 200,000x and resolution is 0.0005micro metres. You cannot observe live specimen through electron microscope. Lenses in light microscope are glass while e.microscope use magnetic lenses. E.microscope is relatively very larger than light microscope. You need special knowledge to handle electron microscope. You can observe through naked eye in e.microscope. A beam of electrons is sent through specimen in e.microscope.In light microscope a beam of light is sent. Electron microscope is very complex relative to light microscope.


What microscope would you need to see the details inside a bacterium?

through a coupound microscope at a high objective


Explain why both magnification and resolution are important when viewing a small object with a microscope?

the plant is a mineral that has only two or some times three seeds to each pod and that is why you would need a microscope to see the small microscopic seeds


Why is it hard to see detail in cells and tissues?

It is difficult to see detail in cells and tissues due to their microscopic size. This problem can be alleviated with the use of microscope, although certain structures may need a very high magnification and staining to be able to make out clearly.


If a light microscope has an eyepiece lens of magnification x15 what magnification of objective lens would be needed to get a total magnification of x1500?

The total magnification is equal to the magnification of the eyepiece multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens. So in this case the objective lens would need to be 100X.
