What is the rule for the total magnification of a compound microscope?
Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification
Compound microscopes magnification level?
The magnification level of compound microscope is from 50 times to 1000 times larger image.
What is the power of the microscope?
The power of a light microscope can be determined by multiplying the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the current lens. Ex. (10x) by (40x) results in in a 400x magnification.
How do you calculate the resolution on a light microscope?
Multiply the magnification of the ocular and objective lenses. For an example, an ocular lense with mag 10X and an objective lense with mag 40X would result in a total magnification of 400X.
How do you determine what the magnification of the specimen is?
In a light microscope magnification is varied by using different lenses to refract the light. In an electron microscope magnification is varied by altering the configurations of magnetic fields to bend the electron beam.
What is the rule for the total magnification of a compound microscope?
Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification
How does the magnifying power of an electron microscope compared to the magnifying power of a compound microscope?
Electron microscopes are more powerful in terms of magnification, compared to compound microscopes. They are capable of two million-power magnification, while compound microscopes are only capable of 1000x magnification.
Compound microscopes magnification level?
The magnification level of compound microscope is from 50 times to 1000 times larger image.
What is the definition of power of magnification?
the magnification power of a microscope
What is the usual magnifying power of the high power objective on your compound microscope?
what magnification is ontained with the high power objective
What is the light microscope's range of magnification?
The Dissecting Light Microscope range of magnification is 20x to 80x. The Compound Light Microscope ranges from 40x to 1000x -40x Scanning -100x Low Power -400x High Power -1000x Oil Immersion
List three differences between the dissecting microscope and the compound microscope?
1. compound microscope has higher magnification power 2. Dissecting is used for studying 'big' objects 3. compound is for looking at cells, etc.
What is the total magnification of the swift compound microscope when viewing an image under the lowest power objective?
50x
What is the power of the microscope?
The power of a light microscope can be determined by multiplying the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the current lens. Ex. (10x) by (40x) results in in a 400x magnification.
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
Where can you find a microscope to view sperm cells?
Any descent brightfield type microscope with 400x magnification.
Refers to the power of a microscope calculated by multiplying the power on the objective by the power on the eyepiece?
The magnification of the microscope
