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
Why would a technician need to use a microscope with a high magnification?
It depends on what the specimen is. If for example - the specimen is a person's finger-print, then low magnification is sufficient. However - if the specimen is a sample of blood, a higher magnification would be needed to show individual blood cells.
As the magnification increases what decreases in a microscope?
The visibility of the specimen decreases as the power of magnification increases on a microscope. The specimen area will shrink as the magnification is increased.
How is Specimen magnification figured out on a microscope?
A microscope magnifies or enlarges the specimen 100 times from its actual size with clarity. With this, it will be easier to build character on the specimen that is under study.
When you move to a higher magnification do you see more or less of the specimen?
With higher magnification you can observe bigger.To see clearly resolution also should be high.
Which of these is not true when changing magnification form low power to high power?
The specimen should be in clear focus

Is it more desirable to increase or decrease light when changing to a higher magnification using a compound microscope?
It is more desirable to increase light when changing to a higher magnification using a compound microscope as the lens require more light. With proper lighting , it is easier to see specimen details as the lens aperture decreases with higher magnification.
What is the magnification of the specimen under lpo and hpo?
The magnification of the specimen under low power optics, lpo, is 10 times and the magnification of the specimen under high power optics, hpo, depends on the power of the microscope but is usually at least 500 times or more.

What is an example sentence to the word magnification?
You must stain the specimen for the magnification to show them clearly.
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.
When locating specimen which magnification is used?
When locating a specimen,the magnification use is low objective lens of 10*.
Can you name one benefits of viewing a specimen under low magnification rather than high magnification?
One benefit is that you may be able to see a larger area of the specimen.
