What is the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound microscope under the 4X objective lens?

40 because you have to multiply the ocular lens times the objective lens and the ocular lens is almost always 10x i think. Hopefully it is in your case. I know our microscopes are like that. Hope this helps! :)

What is a cylindrically shaped attachment on the revolving nose piece of a compound light microscope near the specimen?
The objective lens magnifies the specimen, producing a real image that is then magnified by the ocular lens resulting in the final image; The total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the objective lens value by the ocular lens value
What are the differences between a microscope and a hand lens?
When viewing a specimen through a hand lens, you can see in slightly greater detail than your naked eye, but you may not be able to see micro organisms. With a microscope, you can see things in MUCH greater detail, and you can see micro organisms. With a hand lens, you cannot change the power of magnification, while with a microscope, you can change the power of the magnification. With a hand lens, only one lens is used to magnify an object, while a compound microscope uses two lenses (one in objective lens, one in eyepiece). With a hand lens, you can view a specimen from far away, while an objective lens has to be fairly close to a specimen in order to view it clearly. With a hand lens, you can simply move your hand forward, or backward, to focus on an object. With a microscope, a very complex mechanism is used in order to portray some sort of depth while viewing. This is adjusted by using a coarse, and a fine adjustment knob.
What is fine adjustment in compound microscope?
This control allows for precise focusing of the specimen...
The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is the?
It depends on the particular microscope, and the magnification being used. Without these details, this question cannot be answered.
What are the magnifying parts in a microscope?
The Magnifying Parts of the Microscope are the : - Eyepiece / Ocular Lens - Objective Lenses *High Power Objective *Low Power Objective *Scanner *Oil Immersion Objective
What would be the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope that has an objective power of 40x and an ocular lens power of 10x?
400x
How is the total magnification of a microscope determined?
Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.
What is the function of the higher power objective on a microscope?
To increase the magnification of the specimen so you can see more detail.
What would be the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope that has an objective power of 40 x and an ocular lens power of 10 x?
10 x * 40x = 400x
What is the formula for calculating total magnification on a microscope?
To determime total magnification of a drawing you devide the dimensions of the drawing by the dimensions of the real object or specimen drawn Mathematically Magnification =Dimensions of drawing/dimensions of specimen
What is a cylindrically shaped attachment on the revolving nose piece of a compound light microscope near the specimen?
The objective lens magnifies the specimen, producing a real image that is then magnified by the ocular lens resulting in the final image; The total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the objective lens value by the ocular lens value
What is the function of the eyepiece of a microscope?
The function of the eyepiece is to allow us to observe the specimen in a microscope. It multiplies and adjusts the magnification of the objective lenses. Sometimes, it even corrects aberrations of the objective lens.
What microscope would be used to study a specimen smaller than 0.2 micrometers?
The maximum magnification of a light microscope is 2000x. Anything requiring more than 2000x magnification requires an electron microscope.
What is the part of a compound light microscope that is located directly above the specimen and that magnifies the image of th specimen?
It's the objective.
What is the function of the high power objective on a microscope?
The high power objective on a microscope increases the magnification of the specimen, which allows you to see more detail. It allows you to see a close up of only a small area of the specimen being viewed.
How big would the specimen look?
the specimen is the objective the microscope and a parts of microscope
How is magnification calculated using simple micrroscope?
Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.
