scanning objective
The nosepiece of a microscope holds multiple objective lenses, each with different magnification levels that range from high to low power. Rotating the nosepiece allows you to switch between these objective lenses to adjust the magnification of your specimen.
What is the value of the smallest objective?If it is 4x,The total magnification = eye piece x objective lens= (10x) x (4x)= 40x
The total magnification of a microscope when the low power objective is locked in place is the product of the magnification of the eyepiece and the magnification of the objective lens. For most microscopes, the low power objective lens has a magnification of around 10x, and the standard eyepiece magnification is 10x. Therefore, the total magnification would be 100x.
The low power objective lens on a microscope typically provides a magnification of around 10x. This lens is used for initial focusing and locating objects on a slide at a lower magnification before switching to a higher magnification lens. It offers a wider field of view compared to higher magnification lenses.
The medium lens on the nosepiece of a microscope is typically the 10x objective lens. This lens is often referred to as the "low power" lens and is used for general observation and initial focusing of the specimen.
low power objective lens
The low power objective is small lens with low magnifying power.
The low power objective lens is usually a 10x lens and it is used to orient the specimen and get it focused before switching to a higher power lens.
The low power objective lens on a microscope is also known as the scanning lens.
low power objective lens
The eyepiece lens of a compound microscope acts essentially a low power (x10 or so) magnifier of the real image created by the objective lens.
Convex lens or low power objective
The revolving nosepiece or turret rotates to change from the low power objective lens to the high power objective lens on a microscope. This component allows for easy switching between different objective lenses without the need to manually remove and insert them.
Total magnification with a low power objective lens is calculated by multiplying the magnification power of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece (ocular lens). Typically, a low power objective lens has a magnification of 10x or 4x, and when combined with a standard 10x eyepiece, the total magnification would be 100x or 40x, respectively. Therefore, total magnification for low power objectives usually ranges from 40x to 100x.
the scan objective is the shortest objective ,, and has a magnification of 10x
Storing a microscope with the low power objective lens in place helps protect the lens and prevents accidental damage or contamination during storage. The low power lens is less delicate compared to other high-power lenses, making it a safer option for storage to ensure the microscope remains in good condition for future use.
