Depends on your microscope. We've got one that's a x2.

What Equals eyepiece times objective lens?

Example: 4 = Low Power 10 = Med. Power 40 = High Power 100 = Eyepiece Low Power x Eyepiece = 40x Med. Power x Eyepiece = 100x High Power x Eyepiece = 400x


When using a microscope how much larger than normal does an object appear with lower power objective?

Not all microscopes have the same magnification for the lower power lens.


How is macroscopic magnification computed?

The eye piece provides x10 magnification, and times it by the low power objective. (Smallest tube) So, if the low power objective was x10, and the eye piece being 10, then the magnification would be x100 Use this for other objectives too.


When do you use high power objective lens?

High power objective lenses are used in microscopy when fine details need to be observed. They are typically used after low power objectives to zoom in on specific areas of interest and provide higher magnification for detailed examination of cells, tissues, or other small objects. However, high power objectives have a smaller field of view and require careful focusing to avoid distortion.


The magnification of a telescope is changed by changing the what?

The magnification of a telescope is the ratio of the effective focal length of the objective to the focal length of the eyepiece. For example, a small telescope's objective may have a focal length of 800mm. When an eyepiece with a focal length of 25mm is used, the magnification is 800/25 = 32. The term "effective focal length" refers to the focal length of the objective as affected by any "focal extender". Many telescopes are designed to have a short total size, but high power, by "folding" the optical path. A mirror-type objective with a focal length of perhaps 800mm is coupled with a smaller curved mirror that intercepts the last 200mm and extends it to 800mm, a 4x extension, so that the effective focal length of that objective is 3200mm. Use that with a 25mm eyepiece and the magnification is 3200/25 = 128. By the way, if a telescope is smaller than you are, it is seldom much use to view using a magnification greater than 50 to 100. Most objects are best viewed at relatively low powers such as 30 or so.

What is calculated by multiplying the power on the objective by the power on the eyepiece?

The total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification power of the objective lens by the magnification power of the eyepiece. This determines how much larger an object will appear when viewed through the microscope.


How much is the magnification power of the specimen under microscopic observasion with objective lens of 46x and eyepiece lens of 5x?

The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece lens. In this case, the total magnification would be 46x (objective) x 5x (eyepiece) = 230x magnification of the specimen.


What Equals eyepiece times objective lens?

What does total power of magnification mean?

The total power of magnification refers to how many times bigger than actual size you are viewing the specimen with a microscope. It is measure by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the objective lens you are using. For example, most eye pieces magnify by 10X. So, if you are viewing a specimen with the 4X objective lens, you are actually seeing the specimen 40 times larger than normal. (10X * 4X)


What is the function of the medium-power objective lens?

The medium-power objective lens on a microscope is typically used for observing specimens at a moderate level of magnification, usually around 10x to 20x magnification. It allows for a clearer and more detailed view of the specimen compared to the low-power objective, without sacrificing too much of the field of view.


How much larger than normal does an object appear with a low-power objective?

An object will appear about 10 times larger than normal with a low-power objective. This is due to the magnification effect of the lens in the low-power objective, which enlarges the image of the object being observed.


What is the magnification of the objectives of the microscope?

The magnification of the objective lens is 10x. The magnification of the scanning lens is 4x. Therefore if you are viewing an object under scanning power, the total magnification is 40x.


How much more can you see with a X4 objective than with the 40x objective?

With a 4x objective lens compared to a 40x objective lens, you would see a larger area of the specimen, but the image would be less detailed and magnified with the 4x objective. The 40x objective would provide a much closer and higher magnification view of a smaller area of the specimen.

What is an important thing to remember when you turn the high power objective on a microscope into place?

It allows you to see a close up of only a small area of the specimen being viewed
