its is good and magnifies mediumly
The medium lens on the nosepiece of a microscope is typically the 10x objective lens. This lens is often referred to as the "low power" lens and is used for general observation and initial focusing of the specimen.
A) a long power objective- shortestB) a high power objective- longerC) a oil immersion objective- longest
You would turn the nosepiece or turret on the microscope to switch from low power objective lens to a medium power objective lens. This allows you to change the magnification level and focus on different parts of the specimen being viewed.
The usual magnification for a medium power objective lens in a light microscope is typically around 10x to 40x. Commonly, a 40x magnification is used for medium power objectives, which allows for a detailed view of specimens while still providing a broader field of view than high power objectives. This level of magnification is ideal for observing cellular structures and tissues.
When changing from medium to high power on a microscope, you should not touch the coarse focus knob. This knob is used to adjust the focus at lower magnifications and can cause the objective lens to crash into the slide if used at high power, potentially damaging the slide or the lens.
A lens works by the difference in refractive index between the material in the lens and the surrounding medium. So a lens put in a medium that has exactly the same refractive index would not be a lens, it wouldn't bend light at all.
The power of a lens depends on the differences in the refractive indices of the environment and the lens material. A glass lens immersed in water will loose power (a positive lens will focus at a greater distance). (This is for normal glass with refractive index greater than water - there could be glasses with refractive index less than water in which case the lens would gain power)
The equation goes like this and works for both medium AND high feild diameter : Medium(High) DIA. = Low Diameter / [Med(High)mag/low mag] Brackets () are NOT for multiplication, they are for the other formula.
The medium-power objective lens on a microscope is typically used for observing specimens at a moderate level of magnification, usually around 10x to 20x magnification. It allows for a clearer and more detailed view of the specimen compared to the low-power objective, without sacrificing too much of the field of view.
The oil immersion lens or objective has power 90X-100X and an eyepiece lens generally in light microscope comes with 10X so total magnification of oil immersion lens is 100X10 = 1,000
Low power (4x), medium power (10x), and high power (40x) are the three magnifications typically found on a compound microscope's objective lenses.
Yes. A lens makes use of the property that when light travels from a less dense medium (air) into a more dense medium (glass) it bends toward the surface normal. And when it travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the surface normal. So if the lens were placed in a more dense medium then itself the typical direction of light bending would be reversed. You should get a complete reversal of the roles played by a convex lens and a concave lens if you made a cavity inside a glass block in the shape of a lens. A concave glass lens in air does not give a real image but a concave cavity in a glass block should give a real image, in the block.
