Is there an upper limit to magnification using visible light?
Yes, the wavelength of the light limits the maximum magnification of a microscope. Using visible light, the limit is about 1200 to 1500X.
What limits the useful magnification of a compound microscope?
Several things do: 1) what magnification the ocular is (usually 10x) and the highest magnification of the objectives (usually 100x), giving you a total mag of 1000x 2) resolution, which in turn is affected by numerical aperture
Why use a 1500X lens on a microscope?
so you can see things in more detail
If a light microscope has an eyepiece lens of magnification x15 what magnification of objective lens would be needed to get a total magnification of x1500?
The total magnification is equal to the magnification of the eyepiece multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens. So in this case the objective lens would need to be 100X.
Why do many biologists prefer a phase contrast microscope?
phase contrast microscopes are capable of magnifications from 10-1500x and has a resolution of 200 nanometers,these are just some of the reasons why biologist use them in studying cellular components and microscopic organisms

Can you see the nucleus under a compound microscope?
http://www.fidelitysystems.com/Unlinked_DNA.html contains a photo of DNA obtained via an electronic microscope. Note added by another user: This is NOT a photo of DNA under a compound microscope. This is DNA under a scanning electron microscope.
Robert brought a car for 1500 dollars the sales tax is 5 percent how much did he pay for the car?
Actually he paid $1500 for the car. However there is also the $75 tax (1500x.05). So total cost including tax is $1575.
Does the sun shine on Uranus?
Yes and it is a tiny point of light so the sunlight is a little better than the full moon lighting up Earth.
Your house is 1350 square feet how many shingles do you need?
The square footage of your house is not the same as the square footage of your roof if there is any pitch. If you are asking aboutasphalt shingles, generally each bundle covers 33.3 square feet. Therefore find the square footage of your roof, divide it by 33.3 to find the number of bundles, then multiply the original square footage by 5-10% to get the number of additional bundles for cutoffs and starter strip. The variation in percentage accounts for the number and length of valleys of the roof. Example:[@5%]roof =1500 ft2 --> (1500/33.3=45.05) (1500x.05=75 -->75/33.3=2.25)45.05 + 2.25= (48) bundles
