This depend on type of microscope and in particular which specific model it is.

High power may refer to the microscopes ability to enlarge a lot, not that it actually consumes power.

In this understanding of the term, the microscope in question might have two separate but combined lenses of which the total magnification can be calculated from.

It may have an objective lens and an eye piece lens, both of which that might be changed in order to achieve greater or less magnification.

Typical configurations are:

Objective lenses of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 40, 100X magnification

Eye piece lenses of 5, 10, 15, 20X magnification.

If your microscope fits this configuration, then the maximum magnification you can achieve is 100x20, a magnification of maximum 2000 times.

The problem here is the wavelength of visible light. It does not allow for more magnification than approx 1500 times and even this is not a very detailed one.

What is the Magnification capacity of 10x low power objective and 10x high power objective?

The magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. In this case, if you have a 10x low power objective and a 10x high power objective, the total magnification would be 100x (10x * 10x) for both objectives when used with the same eyepiece magnification.


What structure on a microscope allows the greatest magnification?

The objective lens is the part of a microscope that allows for the greatest magnification. It is located at the bottom of the microscope and is responsible for gathering light and magnifying the image of the specimen. By using different objective lenses with varying magnification powers, the total magnification of the microscope can be increased.


What is the total magnification of a microscope when the eyepiece lens by the magnification of the the high objective lens?

multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the high objective lens. for example, if the eyepiece magnifies x10, and the high objective magnifies x40, then the total magnification would be 400x


Compare the total magnification of lpo hpo and oio?

The total magnification of a low power objective (LPO) is typically around 100x, a high power objective (HPO) is around 400x, and an oil immersion objective (OIO) can be up to 1000x. This means an oil immersion objective provides the highest magnification among the three.


What happens to the field of view when you change from low power magnification to high power magnification?

When you change from low power magnification to high power magnification, the field of view typically decreases. This is because high power magnification zooms in on a smaller area, allowing for more detail but at the expense of seeing less of the surrounding area.

What is the total magnification of the microscope when it is on high power?

Microscopes vary in power. You can determine total magnification by the eyepiece and the lens.


A researcher is using a compound microscope with an eypiece magnification of 10X. He is using the high power magnification (40X) to examine the mitochondria of liver cells. How many times are the live?

The total magnification of the microscope is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification. In this case, the eyepiece magnification is 10X and the high power objective magnification is 40X, resulting in a total magnification of 10X * 40X = 400X. Therefore, the liver cells are magnified 400 times their actual size.

How many times is the image of the e magnifed when viewed through the high power objective of your microscope?

The magnification of an image viewed through the high power objective of a microscope typically ranges from 40x to 100x, depending on the specific objective lens used. To determine the total magnification, you multiply the eyepiece magnification (usually 10x) by the objective magnification. For example, if using a 40x objective, the total magnification would be 400x (10x eyepiece × 40x objective).


What is the eye place of the microscope has a 10x lens and you are using a 55x high power objective lens?

The total magnification of the microscope is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective lens magnification. In this case, with a 10x eyepiece and a 55x high power objective lens, the total magnification would be 10x * 55x = 550x. This means that the specimen will appear 550 times larger than its actual size when viewed through the microscope.


If a microscope has an ocular with a 5X power and has objectives with powers of 10X and 50X what is the total magnification of a low power and high power please answer i am so confused?

To calculate total magnification, you multiply the ocular lens power by the objective lens power. For low power (10X objective), the total magnification is 5X (ocular) × 10X (objective) = 50X. For high power (50X objective), it is 5X (ocular) × 50X (objective) = 250X.


How to determine the total magnification when using any objective of your microscope?

Ask a jellyfish yea.....well if you don't have a jellyfish around when you need it, you can also look at the magnifier, so if a regular microscope has 4x under lwo power, it is 40x, due to 10x already when you look through the ocular piece. so medium power is 10x, would be 100 times magnified, and 40x for high is 400 times magnified.


How is total magnification for an objective determined for your microscope?

The standard microscope is that the eyepiece is 10x magnification, and three types of powered magnification helps it magnify even more. Low power is 4x, Medium power is 10x, and High power is 40x. Eyepiece and Low power is 40x, Eyepiece and Medium power is 100x, and Eyepiece and High power is 400x magnification in revolance to the naked eye.


What is the magnification of a high power objective?

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


What Equals eyepiece times objective lens?

Example: 4 = Low Power 10 = Med. Power 40 = High Power 100 = Eyepiece Low Power x Eyepiece = 40x Med. Power x Eyepiece = 100x High Power x Eyepiece = 400x
