What limits the useful magnification of a compound microscope?

The useful magnification of a compound microscope is limited by factors such as the numerical aperture of the objective lens, the resolving power of the lens system, and the quality of the image produced by the optics, as well as the wavelength of light being used. Beyond a certain magnification, image quality may degrade, making the image less clear and detailed.


What is a compound light?

A compound light microscope is an optical instrument that uses multiple lenses to magnify small objects. It is commonly used in laboratories and educational settings for viewing cells, tissues, and other microscopic specimens. The term "compound" refers to the multiple lenses used in the microscope to achieve high magnification.


If the ocular lens is 10x what would the total magnification be for the following objective lenses of 15x be?

To calculate the total magnification, you would multiply the magnification of the ocular lens (10x) by the magnification of the objective lens (15x). Therefore, the total magnification would be 10x * 15x = 150x.
