What does resolving power of a microscope mean?
its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification
What is meant by the resolving power of a microscope?
the resolution (resolving power) of a microscope means its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification. the same goes for any other optical instrument. its like watching two lines which are extremely close to each other with unaided eye and then watching them with the microscope. with the unaided eye they will appear as one line. with the microscope they will appear distinct.
What is the maximum resolution of the transmission electron microscope?
An electron microscope can magnify up to more than 1015 times. It is always in black and white but INSANELY detailed. It is black and white because electrons are negative(ELECTRON microscope).
What is the highest magnification power of a microscope?
This depends on the type of microscope. Scanning tunneling microscopes have resolutions at the atomic level. Not that we can see the individual atoms and their structure in a scan. This is by todays technology impossible. (It is also thought to be impossible by future technology.) We can however quite accurately pinpoint the location of individual surface atoms in various metals and alloys. This helps us understand their structure combined. If we talk about the best of the best microscopes that uses visible light, then the best magnification we can hope to achieve is approx 1.500 times. The light and its wavelength is the problem when trying for more.
What does the objective lens on a microscope do?
It provides the highest level of power to magnify the object in question, refer to the link below for more information:http://www.microscope-microscope.org/basic/microscope-parts.htm
What is the highest magnification that can be obtained witha microscope that has 10x eyepiece with 10x and 43x objectives?
4300x
Eyepiece that magnifies the specimen 10X?
The highest magnification that can be obtained from a microscope depends on the objective (main lens) of the microscope and has no bearing on the magnification of the eye piece. A 10X eyepiece can only add to the magnification but cannot provide any further information.
What type of microscope achieves the highest magnification and greatest resolution?
Electron microscope.Transition microscope has a magnification of *500,000 and resolution of 0.5nm.
The magnification and resolution capabilities are highest in the?
The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) has the highest magnification and resolution of all microscopes.
How many objective lenses are on the microscope?
It would depend on the microscope, however, there are usually 3 different powered objective lenses on a light microscope, the lowest being of 10x magnification, the middle being of 40/45x magnification, and the highest being of 100x magnification.
What are the highest magnification microscope generally used to study cells?
1o,ooo times with a transmission electron microscope
What does resolving power of a microscope mean?
its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification
What microscope gives the highest amount of magnification?
The electron microscope that allows you to magnify down to a micrometer I believe.
What limits the useful magnification of a compound microscope?
Several things do: 1) what magnification the ocular is (usually 10x) and the highest magnification of the objectives (usually 100x), giving you a total mag of 1000x 2) resolution, which in turn is affected by numerical aperture
What is the name of the telescope that uses a sharp needle that can trace the bumps in a surface made by individual atoms?
that is not a telescope that is a microscope. and most likely an electron microscope depending on what type they have the highest magnification of any other microscope.
What lens allows greater magnification on a microscope?
please help i need this question answered I believe a bi-convex lens, that is, a lens with an outward curve on both surfaces, would provide the greatest magnification in a simple (single) lens system.
How can each objectives of the microscope be identified if the identification marks are removed?
The objectives are the actual magnifying lenses of the microscope. If it is not practical to look at something through the objectives to discern which ones are of greater magnification, then usually, the longer the barrel of the objective, the greater the magnification. Additionally, most objectives are color coded, with the colors from lowest to highest magnification being: red, yellow, blue, white.
