What is the magnification number of LPO?

10x


What would the magnification of your microscope be if you used a 5x eyepiece and a 10x objective?

It would be 50x. To find the magnification, you just have to multiply the number eyepiece and the number objective. So for example, * A 10x eyepiece and a 40x objective would have a magnification of 400x * A 10x eyepiece and a 100x objective would have a magnification of 1,000x


What is the difference between magnification resolution?

magnification is the number of times an object is enlarged, while resolution is the amount of data (detail) in an image.


How many microns are 1000 magnification?

A micron is a measure of distance while magnification is a pure number which represents how much bigger the image of an object will be. 1000 magnification of 1 micron is 1 millimetre. 1000 magnification of 10 micron is 10 millimetres. 1000 magnification of 1 metre is 10 kilometres. 1000 magnification of 1 nanometre is 1 micrometre (micron).


How are the numbers related to the length of the objective?

Because the length of the objectives depends on the total magnification. Example: Magnification: 50x (LPO) You can see that the lower the magnification,the length of objective is the smallest. Magnification: 500x (HPO) You can see that the higher the magnification, the length of objective is bigger than the other objectives. If the objective is lower, the number is lesser -Guinean026


How do you figure out the total magnification of a compound microscope?

multiply the number by 10


Is power the number followed by an x?

No - except in the context of zoom or magnification.


How can you work out magnification when using a microscope?

Well, its easy. Its Image lenght over Object lenght. In other words,you divide the lenght of your diagram with the lenght of the real object being drawen. If the answer is not up to one, then your diagram is smaller than the real one.


Is total magnification an eyepiece magnification plus an objective magnification?

The total magnification is the object magnification for example 4x,10x etc. times eyepiece magnification usually 10x and you get the total magnification. The objective lens magnification is the lens right above the slide usually 4x,10x etc.


What is the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope?

To determine the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope take the total magnification for the microscope and divide it by the total magnification of the objective lens. The answer is what the magnification is for the eyepiece.


Compare the total magnification of lpo hpo and oio?

LPO has a 10x magnification. HPO has a 40x magnification. OIO has a 100x magnification. LPO has the least magnification, and OIO has the largest.
