*A microscope magnifies because if it enlarged an object, it would make the object under the microscope physically bigger. *Magnifying just makes it appear bigger than it actually is.

When viewed through a microscope, things appear to move in the opposite direction than they are really moving. If you move an object to the right, it appears to move left. The lenses of the microscope reverse the image.
the ability of a microscope to enlarge is called magnification.
The lenses in a microscope diffract (bend) the light as it passes through them. The effect is that an object appears clear and large (is focused and magnified) when the light reaches your eye. Also, microscope designs usually ensure that the object appears right-side-up.

It is a knob that makes an object that's on a slide appear bigger or smaller
40X.
The object appears to move up and away from you as you shift the stage toward you in a microscope.
the moon because it is bigger at night
The lenses of a microscope have shapes that bend light rays, and when we view those bent rays, the object appears larger--a magnifying glass has the same effect.
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.
