Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with a high power on the microscope?

When using a microscope, you are magnifying the area under the lens by however many times the magnification is on your lens. On low power the area expanded by the lens is smaller than on high magnification. When on low power more is visible and there is less area to search for your given object under the microscope. I recommend finding the object on low magnification, and then switching to high once you have found it.

∙ 12y agoHigher power objectives magnify specimens at greater resolutions. Because of this, less of the specimen can "fit" in the fixed area illuminated on the stage. Consequently, if the slide is not positioned at a lower power first, there will be more empty space to comb through in search of the specimin.

What is a high power objective in a microscope?
The high power objective in a microscope is the largest lens in the microscope.
What is the power of the low power objective lens?
The low power objective lens helps to first fine the specimen or object being viewed, and to focus the microscope. Once the lens power becomes higher it is much harder to focus the microscope and find the desired object of viewing.
What are the powers of the objective lens in the microscope?
The function of the lenses of a compound microscope is that they help you see better and more detailed at the object. And also, the field of view is ten times greater than the magnification so you can see even better.
What does the medium power objective do on a microscope?
its is good and magnifies mediumly
What is another name for the low power objective lens on a microscope?
Stereo Microscope
Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with the higher power objectives the with the scanning object?
It's harder to find

Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with the high power object rather than the low power?
b/c the high power only allows you to see a small portion of thee slide. where as the low power pretty much allows you to see the whole slide all at once.
What is the power source of a electron microscope?
The power source of an electron microscope is an electron gun located in the microscope that fires electrons through a series of lens and into a non-living object.
Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with the high-power objective rather than the low-power objective?
With a high power objective you see less sky and might not know where you are looking. With a low power objective you see more and it is possible to orient yourself among the objects in view.
How many times will a microscope lens with a power of 40X magnify an object?
40X
Is resolution is a microscope's power to increase an object's apparent size?
No, it's magification

b/c the high power only allows you to see a small portion of thee slide. where as the low power pretty much allows you to see the whole slide all at once.
When looking through a microscope what power are you on when the object is smaller but you are able to see more detail?
high power
How many times will a microscope lens with a power of 20X magnify an object?
the object will appear 20 times larger
Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with the high-power objective rather than the low power obejctive exspically the brightness whats up with that?
The reason it is more difficult is that the 'field of view' is much smaller, the higher the objective power. In other words, you don't have to be so exactly 'on target' with a lower objective power, as the field of view is larger in proportion to the object being viewed, so the object can be farther off to one side or the other, and still be seen. Once found in the lower power field, center the object in the field and then switch to the higher power- the object should then be in the higher power field of view. This is true for microscopes and telescopes, as well as any instrument that magnifies at different powers of magnification.
