A microscope magnifies or enlarges the specimen 100 times from its actual size with clarity. With this, it will be easier to build character on the specimen that is under study.

As the magnification increases what decreases in a microscope?
The visibility of the specimen decreases as the power of magnification increases on a microscope. The specimen area will shrink as the magnification is increased.
What is the formula for calculating total magnification on a microscope?
To determime total magnification of a drawing you devide the dimensions of the drawing by the dimensions of the real object or specimen drawn Mathematically Magnification =Dimensions of drawing/dimensions of specimen
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.
What microscope would be used to study a specimen smaller than 0.2 micrometers?
The maximum magnification of a light microscope is 2000x. Anything requiring more than 2000x magnification requires an electron microscope.
What are magnification amounts on a microscope?
The magnification amount on a microscope refers to how much larger an object appears when viewed through the microscope compared to the naked eye. Microscopes typically have adjustable magnification levels, commonly ranging from 40x to 1000x or higher. Higher magnification allows for greater detail and resolution of the specimen being observed.

The visibility of the specimen decreases as the power of magnification increases on a microscope. The specimen area will shrink as the magnification is increased.
What does it mean when a specimen is under low power magnification you can switch to high power magnification and have the specimen remain in reasonably good focus?
It means you have a good microscope.

What is the magnification of the specimen under lpo and hpo?
The magnification of the specimen under low power optics, lpo, is 10 times and the magnification of the specimen under high power optics, hpo, depends on the power of the microscope but is usually at least 500 times or more.

What is the maximum power of magnification of a microscope?
Actual magnification of light microscopes could reach up 1000x magnification depending on the type of light microscope. Light microscopes could be divided into brightfield microscope and phase-contrast microscope for viewing stained specimen and unstained specimen respectively. Magnification of electron microscope on the other hand could go up to 1000000x. The actual magnification as well depends on types of electron microscope which includes transmission-electron microscope and scanning-electron microscope where both of them are used in viewing internal cell structures and cell surface structures respectively.

How is the total magnification of a microscope determined?
Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.
What is the function of the higher power objective on a microscope?
To increase the magnification of the specimen so you can see more detail.

Eyepiece that magnifies the specimen 10X?
The highest magnification that can be obtained from a microscope depends on the objective (main lens) of the microscope and has no bearing on the magnification of the eye piece. A 10X eyepiece can only add to the magnification but cannot provide any further information.
