How does increasing the magnification in the microscope change what you see?

Magnification relates to how large you can see an object - making small items larger than they normally appear.
Resolution relates to the amount of detail you can see in the object or image. The higher the resolution, the more detail that is visible.

∙ 13y agoThe magnifying power of a microscope is how big the microscope can make the image and how close it can make the image to the eye.
Resolution or resolving power is how clear the microscope can focus the object and how much detail is provided in the magnification.

∙ 14y agoMagnification is how much larger the image appears. Magnification allows the observer to take a closer look at something and make detailed observations of its intricacies.
Resolution is how well a microscope can tell two closely lying points across. A low resolution microscope cannot tell the difference between two points on the sample that are very close to one another. It will appear as a single point.
A high resolution scope can tell the difference between the two closely lying points and will be visible as two points.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWell, you need resolution to see your image clearly and you need magnification to see your image up close

What is the differences between magnification and resolution and how do they each contribute to the image that you see with the microscope?

How does increased magnification affect the field vision?
Increasing the magnification on a light microscope will decreased the diameter of the field of view. You are essentially looking closer and closer at the objects. For example: Using your hand (thumb to fingertips), create a circle as if holding a telescope. Hold your hand-telescope up to one eye and look through it at your screen. Now, move closer to the computer screen... The size of the field you are able to see gets smaller...that's what happens with a microscope lens. As you increase the magnification, the lens gets closer to the specimen.
What is the difference between Magnification and resolving power?
magnification:-magnification is increase in the size of an object resolution:-resolution is power of a microscope to distinguish between two objects.Higher the resolution easier it will be to see between the two pints
How much are these onion cell magnified?
It depends on the strength of the lense you are using and how high you set the magnification of the microscope.At 40X magnification, the microscope enlarges a 2 mm part of the onion and at 100X the microscope enlarges 0.8 mm of the cell. At both 40X and 100X you can online see a zoomed out image of the cells.At 400X, the microscope enlarges a 0.2 mm part of the cell. The individual cell is more clearly seen.At 1000X magnification, the microscope enlarges a 0.08 mm part of the onion cell. At this level of magnification the nucleus of the onion cell can be seen.This link shows different magnifications of the onion cells.
In microbiology what is the most commonly used objective on a microscope?
In microbiology, the most commonly used objective on a microscope is 100x. This is because this is the closest yet detailed magnification where you can see a specimen. Higher magnifications lead to a closer look but less detail.
What is a sentence for magnification?
We had to increase the magnification of the microscope in order to see the cells clearly.
How do you use magnification in a sentence?
We had to increase the magnification of the microscope in order to see the cells clearly.
What does magnification mean?
The action of magnifying. The condition of being magnified. The result of magnifying or a magnified reproduction.Zoom
What is the total area you see when you look into a microscope?
That would depend on the magnification you are using.
Magnification and resolution as they pertain to a microscope?
Magnification lets you see an image larger than it is. But resolution makes the image clearer when magnified.

What is the relationship between the diameter of the microscope field and its magnification?
The field of vision shrinks as the magnification gets higher so as the magnification increases the less of the diameter of the microscopic field you can see.
Compare and contrast resolution and magnification?
Magnification is something being magnified or expanded under a microscope to make it easier to see. Resolution is being able to clearly identify one thing from the other under a microscope.
What kind of microscope is used to see dust mites?
One that has a magnification range of 20x-100x.
Why couldn't you see a virus with your microscope even if you increased the eyepiece lens to magnification to 100x?
Viruses are too small to be seen in a light microscope.

Viruses are too small to be seen in a light microscope.
How much magnification is needed to see a nanometer?
You cannot see down to the nanometer scale with light microscopes, you have to use something like a scanning tunneling microscope or an electron emission microscope. And since those don't use light I'm not sure you can really define the magnification.
