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

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 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 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 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


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


What is a high power objective in a microscope?

A high power objective in a microscope is a lens that provides high magnification of the specimen being viewed. It typically magnifies the image by 40x to 100x, allowing for detailed observation of fine structures. High power objectives are used for examining smaller details and are typically used after lower magnification objectives.


What is the usual magnifying power of the high power objective on your compound microscope?

The high power objective on a compound microscope typically has a magnifying power of 40x or 50x.


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 does it mean when a specimen is under low power magnification you can switch to high power magnification and have the specimen remain in reasonably good focus?

It means you have a good microscope.


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


How do you calculate the power magnification of microscope?

you multyply the low powered objective and the high powered objective :)


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.
