Your light intensity knob which is either on the right, or left of the base of the microscope. When you increase your magnification via the objective, increase your substage iris diaphragm. ie) 10x objective ~ 0.2, 40x ~ 0.4

What is the difference between compound microscope and an electron microscope?
A compound microscope is an instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. The science of investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy. Microscopic means invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope. An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to illuminate the specimen and produce a magnified image. Electron microscopes (EM) have a greater resolving power than a light-powered optical microscope, because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light (photons), and can achieve better than 50 pm resolution[1] and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x, whereas ordinary, non-confocal light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000x.
For a microscope to be useful it must combine two properties?
it must combine magnification and resolution
What is the name of the amount of useful energy you get from a system?
That may refer to the system's efficiency (which is formally the amount of useful output power divided by the amount of input power).
Can size and shape of nanoparticles be clearly seen by polarized optical microscope?
ive used those microscopes in geology labs, i know they allow you to see nylon fibres, but for nanoparticles you really need more focusing power. The lab i used t work in made use of SEM(scanning electron microscope) to see particles in the reange of 200 nanometres to ~900nanometres altough the microscope is capable of focousing in and out a tremendous amount wikipedia has some useful information on this microscope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_electron_microscope
A tool that uses lens to focus light and create useful images?
A camera and a microscope are two devices that meet your criteria.
What is the maximum useful magnification of a compound light microscope?
1000X
Why are light microscopes useful?
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
Which microscope would be most useful for quickly estimating the number of red blood cells in a patient's blood sample?
compound light
Which microscope is most useful for visualizing a biofilm?
scanning acoustic microscope
What microscope is more useful to estimate red blood cells?
The microscope that is more useful to estimate red blood cells is an electron microscope because it can magnify to see cells that other microscopes can't see such as the light microscope
What is useful of studying science?
microscope or telescope
Would a compound light microscope and dissecting microscope be used in the same lab situation?
Yes, it could. If one is working in a lab for the health department for example, both would be useful. One might have a sample and would use the low magnifying dissecting scope to find something of interest and then the compound 'scope for more detail of the it.
How is an elecron microscope useful?
Its useful to see very small microorganisms & useful to study about small viruses etc.
Is useful a compound word?
Yes, "useful" is a compound word made up of the root word "use" and the suffix "-ful" which means "full of."
Which tool is most useful for the observing cells?
microscope.
How the microscope is useful in your life and in general for humans?
You can use a microscope to view cells and other parts of your body.
How is the microscope useful?
A microscope allows the human eye to examine tiny particles that otherwise cannot be seen.
