What is another name for the low power objective lens on a microscope?

Stereo Microscope


What is low power objective in a microscope?

A low power objective in a microscope is a Small Lens with Low Magnifying Power. A microscope head with two eyepiece lenses, one for each eye. Generally this term is used in describing a high power (compound) microscope. With a low power microscope we say "stereo" head because, unlike the compound microscope, the stereo has a separate objective lens for each eyepiece lens, producing two independent paths of light, one for each eye. In the compound microscope with a binocular head, there are two eyepiece lenses but still only one objective lens and you will not get stereo vision. Hope this helps.


What happens to the depth of field as your move from low power to high power?

Depth of field decreases from low to high. This means what you see under the microscope is blurry. If both objects are not blurry, this means you have high depth-of-field.


What part of the microscope is used to focus initally under the scanning or low power?

For course focusing the primary stage is used.


Why must initial focusing of an object be under the low power objective and not under the high power objective?

Low power objective is like our eye if we want to see we can just see normally but if we want to see something very small but want to see properly at that particular part then we always go for some lens of something powerful. That's the same thing when we want to know something deeply we go for high power microscope to read a more detailed study of a particular part of object under the microscope.
