How do you determine the total magnification on a light microscope?
Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece (usually 10x) and the magnification of the objective you are using, Example: eyepiece = 10 x objective lense = 40x 10 x 40 = 400 magnification of 400x.
Which unstained cellular organelles can be seen with a compound light microscope that has a total magnification of 400?
Cell wall, nucleus and chloroplasts can be seen with a compound light microscope under a total magnification of 400 X. The chloroplasts are self pigmented hence visible. Cell wall and nucleus being very dense are also visible without staining.
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
Pros and cons of using compound microscope?
it has light limited magnification
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.
Would a microscope that enlarges an object 400 times have a resolution of 400?
No. It would have a magnification of 400. The resolution is not directly related to the magnification. It could be higher or lower.
What is the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope?
To determine the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope take the total magnification for the microscope and divide it by the total magnification of the objective lens. The answer is what the magnification is for the eyepiece.
How do you determine the total magnification on a light microscope?
Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece (usually 10x) and the magnification of the objective you are using, Example: eyepiece = 10 x objective lense = 40x 10 x 40 = 400 magnification of 400x.
If a microscope lens has a magnification of 15 and another has a magnification of 40 what is the total magnification of the microscope?
it would be 15 times 40 which is 600 times magnification
How does one calculate total magnification on the microscope?
One can calculate the total magnification of a microscope by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the main scope. For a compound microscope one must multiply each eye piece magnification.
How does a scientist figure out the total magnification on a microscope?
Magnification of objective multiplied by magnification of eyepiece. I usually work with 40x and 60x ojectives and 10x eyepiece, so total magnifications of my observations are respectively 400 and 600 times.
What kind of microscope has the greatest magnification to study cell structures?
the electron microscope. has 250,000x magnification
What two parts of the microscope increases magnification?
The objective and the diaphragm are the parts that increase magnification on a microscope.
What is the definition of power of magnification?
the magnification power of a microscope
What kind of microscope has the greatest magnification used to study cell structure?
the electron microscope. has 250,000x magnification
What type of microscope has the greatest magnification?
ELectron Microscope
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.
