Is 100 plus magnification good?
Good for what? Telescope? Microscope? "Magnification" is often used as a marketing tool; telescopes for example might come with a maximum magnification that is too big to get a clear image, just so they can claim "100x magnification" or whatever. And it is cheap to get a magnification that is clearly too much. The most important piece of information about a telescope is, how big is the main lens, or the main mirror. A larger diameter here will give you (a) more light-gathering power, allowing you to see fainter stars, and (b) more resolution, roughly equivalent to usefulmagnification.Good for what? Telescope?

What is the maximum magnification for a scanning electron microscope?
1000000
What is the maximum useful magnification of a compound light microscope?
1000X
What is the total magnification using high power?
This depend on type of microscope and in particular which specific model it is. High power may refer to the microscopes ability to enlarge a lot, not that it actually consumes power. In this understanding of the term, the microscope in question might have two separate but combined lenses of which the total magnification can be calculated from. It may have an objective lens and an eye piece lens, both of which that might be changed in order to achieve greater or less magnification. Typical configurations are: Objective lenses of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 40, 100X magnification Eye piece lenses of 5, 10, 15, 20X magnification. If your microscope fits this configuration, then the maximum magnification you can achieve is 100x20, a magnification of maximum 2000 times. The problem here is the wavelength of visible light. It does not allow for more magnification than approx 1500 times and even this is not a very detailed one.
What is the maximum magnification's of the scanning electron microscope?
The scanning electron microscope has a magnification range from 15x to 200,000x (reached in 25 steps) and a resolution of 5 nanometers.
Is there an upper limit to magnification using visible light?
Yes, the wavelength of the light limits the maximum magnification of a microscope. Using visible light, the limit is about 1200 to 1500X.
The maximum magnification without use the oil?
It is of 45x objective and 10x of eyepiece total 450x
What is the maximum magnification of a microscope?
one can make images of atoms using a scanning tunneling mcroscope.
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 is the maximum magnification of a SEM?
A scanning electron microscope has a very large depth of field which makes the images produced appear three dimensional. Magnifications from 25X to 250,000X (250 times the magnification limit of a light microscope) are possible. Although my Science Text book says it can reach a magnification of 300 000X, but most specimens are easier to view at magnification less than 10 000X.
What is the total magnification of a microscope if the microscope is on high-power?
This depend on type of microscope and in particular which specific model it is. High power may refer to the microscopes ability to enlarge a lot, not that it actually consumes power. In this understanding of the term, the microscope in question might have two separate but combined lenses of which the total magnification can be calculated from.

It does not allow for more magnification than approx 1500 times and even this is not a very detailed one.
What is the maximum resolution of the compound microscope in terms of micrometers?
A compound light microscope is limited to about 2000X magnification.
