Which objectives of microscope covers a wider field?

Low power objectives cover a wide field of view and they are useful for examining large specimens or surveying many smaller specimens. This objective is useful for aligning the microscope. The power for the low objective is 10X.


What is low power objective for a microscope?

The lower power objective for the microscope is the small lense on the microscope. The size usuall ranges at 4x on the microscope.


Diameter of the field of view in millimeters when using the 4X objective?

five


What are differences between the light microscope and the electron microscope?

A light microscope uses a light source but a electron microscope has beams of electrons focused by magnetic lenses.The major difference in practice is resolution: the amount of detail that can be discerned in the image. Under optimal conditions (excellent lenses, oil immersion) the resolution of a light microscope is about 0.2 micrometers (or 0.000,000,2 meters or 2 thousandths of a millimeter). Objects that are closer together cannot be detected as separate. The resolution of an transmission electron microscope is about 0.05 nanometers (or 0.000,000,000,05 meters or half of 1 millionth of a millimeter). This means that the electron microscope has about 10,000 times the resolving power of the light instrument, and can therefore show far greater detail, for example of subcellular structure.Another difference of importance to biologists is that light microscopes (there are several kinds, such as bright field and phase contrast) enable the viewer to watch living cells. The electron microscope produces an image of the shadows cast by atoms of heavy metals used as stains; the living tissue is destroyed by the intense beam of electrons.

How big is the worm relative to the diameter of the field of view?

At low power on the compound microscope, the diameter of the field of view is 4 millimeters. This is reduced to 1.7 millimeters when you switch to medium power


What does it mean for a microscope to be parcentered?

When a microscope is parcentered, the specimens will appear centered in the field of view at every magnification. So if a field of a slide is centered at the lowest power, even though the field diameter shrinks at each higher magnification, the desired part of the specimen will remain in the center of the viewing field.


How do you determine the diameter of the field of view?

At low power on the compound microscope, the diameter of the field of view is 4 millimeters. This is reduced to 1.7 millimeters when you switch to medium power and further reduced to 0.4 millimeters when you switch to high power. Covert the measurment for the field of view from millimeters to microns, the conventional unit of measurment in microscopy. There are 1000 microns in one millimeter. Low power: 4mm= 4,000um Medium power: 1.7mm= 1,700um High power: 0.4mm= 400um


Which objective of a compound microscope would show the largest field of view?

You use the 3 objective lenses of a compound microscope to switch powers. There's LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH power. With LOW power, you can magnify what you're looking at. With HIGH power, you can see things that you can't see with a naked eye.


What happens to the diameter of the field of the view when you change for low to high power?

The diameter of a field is decreased by 1.5 millimeters when changed from low power to high power magnification.


What is the microscope's field of view?

It is the area that you see when looking through the microscope. The field of view depends on the strength of magnification. The lower the power the larger the field of view.

What are small units that can be seen under high power for a microscope?

The small unit would be cells


As the magnification increases what decreases in a microscope?

The visibility of the specimen decreases as the power of magnification increases on a microscope. The specimen area will shrink as the magnification is increased.


Which objectives of microscope covers a wider field?

Low power objectives cover a wide field of view and they are useful for examining large specimens or surveying many smaller specimens. This objective is useful for aligning the microscope. The power for the low objective is 10X.


Why is an object no longer in view as one switches from low power to high power using the microscope?

At a higher power the field of view is smaller and the object may no longer be in the field of view. Or it may have gone out of focus.


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.
