How much can a light microscope magnify an object?
40x
What reflects light into a microscope?
Light reflects off a mirror to magnify an object.
How does a microscope magnify?
Microscopes uses the same trick as refracting telescopes. They bend the light as it travels through the glass. In a microscope, the idea is to bend diverging lights into a parallel path, then focus that path into a light beam creating a spread out yet zoomed in image of what is on the microscope slide.
What makes a microscope work?
There are three types of basic microscopes: Electron Microscopes, Simple Light Microscopes, and Compound Light Microscopes. Simple [light] Microscopes work by focusing light through one lens. The most common lens, the Convex Lens, works by being thicker in the center than the edge. This bends the light, altering the image as it hits the second lens, your retina. A Compound [light] Microscope works differently. It is the most common microscope for everyday use, using a mirror to shine light up through a slide containing a specimin. Next, the ray of light shines up through a series of lenses, bending the light and multiplying the magnification and resolution levels of the image, until it hits your retina. Robert Hooke used a very complex compound microscope to observe cells through a thin slice of cork wood. The Electron Microscope is the most technologically advanced and, in my opinion, the coolest type yet. In fact, the electron microscope was so complex that it was not discovered until the late 1930's. It uses a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify an image. This allows you to get a much closer image with much higher resolution than with a regular light microscope. The most complex light microscope can only magnify an image up to 5000 times. An electron microscope can easily double that, a recently founded electron microscope can magnify an image up to 150,000 times. To work, this microscope actually borrows electrons from atoms, and as long as they return the electrons to the atoms, there is still perfect balance.

What reflects light into a microscope?
Light reflects off a mirror to magnify an object.
How does a compound microscope use lenses to magnify an object?
the optical microscope is a type of microscope that uses visibal light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples
Why is a compound microscope called a light microscope?
A compound light microscope is named for the use of more than one lens to collect and focus light, and magnify the image.

Electron microscopes use a beam of light to produce a magnified image?
An Electron Microscope uses electrons to magnify objects.
Is the size of an image formed by a light microscope unlimited?
It is limited. It can magnify up to 1000 times.
What is the difference between an electron and a light microscope?
A light microscope is a simple microscope that magnifies light that it collects and spread onto a screen digitally or optically. Electron microscopes is a microscope that fire electrons onto a object then it is bounced back to form an image. It enlarges the image when it is bounced back. It is fired consistently to receive a constant image. It is viewed with a electronic screen. When the electron is fired it creates light which bounces back as well. It can magnify much bigger than a optical microscope.
Can you see chromosomes with a light microscope during cell cycle?
NO light microscope can not magnify the image to see chromosomes. You can see with fluorescence microscopes to observe them during cell cycle. Light microscope is helpful to check the whole living cell.
Which microscope uses lenses and objectives to magnify?
compound light microscope
