Microscopes can be tricky to use because of the strength of their lens magnifications, typically 4x, 10x and 40x. The difficulty lies in trying to align the specimen in a precise position so the microscope lens can capture it and allow the user to see the specimen close up. Generally, the lowest magnification is used because it is not too zoomed in so aligning the slide and lens is easier.

Does the diameter of a telescope control its magnification?
No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.
Why is it important to start with a low magnification when using the microscope?
So you can determine the actual size of what you are looking at.
What is the overhyped feature of telescope sales?
The magnification. What really matters about a telescope, the single most important piece of information, is the diameter of the main lens, or main mirror.The magnification.

Total magnification is determined by?
the eyepiece lens magnification X the magnification of the objective lens.
What is the total magnification of a microscope with two lenses when one lens has a magnification 15 and the other lens has a magnification 30?
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
What magnification should you use to begin viewing a slide?
The lowest magnifiction, some microscopes are different but ours start at 40X
What is the lowest possible magnification on a microscope?
200
What are the proper techniques of using a microscope?
put the slide on the platform, start with lowest magnification, gradually adjust the fine adjust knob until image appears clearly. then, keep switching to higher magnification powers.
What is the first magnificationused to look at a slide?
You start with the lowest magnification. Once you have found the specimen and focused it, you can move it to the next higher magnification. It should still be in focus, although you might need to use the fine adjustment.
Why do start with low power on a microscope?
On where you start is totally optional, but it is most beneficial to start on the lowest power, so that you can adjust your magnification from then on to make out the object your trying to see. Start low then work your way to high.
What type of microscope has the lowest magnification?
early light microscope
Which type of microscope has the lowest magnification?
Early light microscope
What is a lower power objective?
The lower power objective is the lens on the microscope that gives you the lowest magnification. The exact magnification is 40x
Why is magnification important in science?
Magnification is important in science because it allows for the direct observation of processes that are invisible to the naked eye.
What is the total magnification of the swift compound microscope when viewing an image under the lowest power objective?
50x
How many objective lenses are on the microscope?
It would depend on the microscope, however, there are usually 3 different powered objective lenses on a light microscope, the lowest being of 10x magnification, the middle being of 40/45x magnification, and the highest being of 100x magnification.
Does the diameter of a telescope control its magnification?
No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.
