What is the function of the higher power objective on a microscope?

To increase the magnification of the specimen so you can see more detail.


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.


Why is it one needs more illumination when using the higher levels of magnification?

It's actually simple: The more the magnification, the smaller a "picture" of the available light you are getting - hence the more magnification, the darker the image looks. It works the same way with an astronomical telescope: The more magnification you use (assuming the objective lens doesn't change) the dimmer the object gets. To put it another way - there is a big difference between how high a magnification you are using, and how much light is reaching your eye.


How does the view of specimen changes as you increase the power of magnification?

It Advances the Vision and Makes appear bigger and More Clear.


How is the total magnification of a microscope determined?

Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.


What microscope would be used to study a specimen smaller than 0.2 micrometers?

The maximum magnification of a light microscope is 2000x. Anything requiring more than 2000x magnification requires an electron microscope.


As the magnification used in microscope increases is more or less illumination needed Explain your answer?

As the magnification increases, more light is needed. This is because the size of the hole of the lens is smaller.


What are the changes you can see from lower to higher magnification?

You can see more in-depth and your view is much more zoomed in.


What does total power of magnification mean?

The total power of magnification refers to how many times bigger than actual size you are viewing the specimen with a microscope. It is measure by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the objective lens you are using. For example, most eye pieces magnify by 10X. So, if you are viewing a specimen with the 4X objective lens, you are actually seeing the specimen 40 times larger than normal. (10X * 4X)


After switching from low power to high power more or less of thr specimen will be visable?

What happens to the diameter of the field of view as you move from a lower to a higher magnification?

Adjusting a microscope's magnification settings can alter an object's field of view from a macro to micro areas. Higher magnification make the field of smaller and better defined, where lower settings increases the visible area.
