Why do both magnification and resolution are important when viewing a small object with a microscope?
because the cells are very small
How many times larger are the images under 10X objective magnification than they are under 4X?
Magnifying an image allows for easier investigation and viewing capabilities. Images which are under a 10X objective magnification and 6 times larger than an image which is under a 4X magnification.
In microbiology what is the most commonly used objective and why?
100x objective on the microscope is the most commonly used in microbiology because if you got a higher objective you would just have higher magnification. But you would not be able so see the details.
Why must you use a thin specimen when viewing with a light microscope?
For a light transmission microscope, a thin sample is needed in order for the light to pass through the sample from the light source on the other side. However, you can use a dissection microscope (another type of light microscope) which illuminates the sample from above, eliminating the need for a thin sample size. As the name suggests, this is normally used in dissections, and is of low magnification.
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)
Why do both magnification and resolution are important when viewing a small object with a microscope?
because the cells are very small
Explain why magnification and resolution are important when viewing a small object with a microscope?
those two things are important because the cells are very small and you need those things to see the better
Explain why both magnification and resolution are important when viewing a small object with a microscope?
the plant is a mineral that has only two or some times three seeds to each pod and that is why you would need a microscope to see the small microscopic seeds
What is dissecting?
A dissection microscope is called a stereoscopic microscope. It has low magnification that is useful for viewing large, thick objects.
What is the magnification of the objectives of the microscope?
The magnification of the objective lens is 10x. The magnification of the scanning lens is 4x. Therefore if you are viewing an object under scanning power, the total magnification is 40x.
What is the maximum power magnification of the microscope?
Actual magnification of light microscopes could reach up 1000x magnification depending on the type of light microscope. Light microscopes could be divided into brightfield microscope and phase-contrast microscope for viewing stained specimen and unstained specimen respectively. Magnification of electron microscope on the other hand could go up to 1000000x. The actual magnification as well depends on types of electron microscope which includes transmission-electron microscope and scanning-electron microscope where both of them are used in viewing internal cell structures and cell surface structures respectively.

What is the total magnification of the swift compound microscope when viewing an image under the lowest power objective?
50x
What are the functions and parts of the microscope?
There are many parts of a dissecting microscope, which is used for viewing microscopic specimens up close. One of the most important parts are the ocular lenses, which are usually capable of up to 10x magnification, and they are the eyepieces the viewer looks through.
What does it mean for a microscope to be parcentered?
When a microscope is parcentered, the specimens will appear centered in the field of view at every magnification. So if a field of a slide is centered at the lowest power, even though the field diameter shrinks at each higher magnification, the desired part of the specimen will remain in the center of the viewing field.
Why are such a limited number of organelles observed when viewing the plant and animal cells under the microscope?
Most organelles are very small and require a magnification greater than the x1500 available using a light microscope. An electron microscope is required for greater magnification and resolution. Therefore a small area of the slide is avalible.
