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 might a person have trouble viewing their cells with the microscope?
There could be several reasons, such as improper focus adjustment, incorrect lighting settings, dirty lenses, or inadequate staining of the cells. Additionally, the microscope may not be properly calibrated or the magnification level might be too high or too low for the cells being observed.
What is the function of a nose piece in a microscope?
The nosepiece in a microscope holds and rotates multiple objective lenses, allowing the user to easily switch between different magnifications without needing to manually switch out lenses. This feature enables smooth and efficient transition between magnification levels during observations.
What different types of microscope are there?
There are several types of microscopes, including optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopes. Optical microscopes use visible light and lenses to magnify samples, electron microscopes use beams of electrons to achieve high magnification and resolution, and scanning probe microscopes use a physical probe to scan the surface of a sample at the nanoscale level. Each type has its own strengths and applications in scientific research and industry.
What parts do compound microscope?
The three basic structural components of a compound microscope are the head, base and arm. then the main parts are objective lens near object, eye piece near eye and the stage to place object. it has coarse and fine adjustments to focus the object
What way does a compound microscope differ from a simple microscope?
A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.
What is a compound microscope used for in lab equipment?
A compound microscope, like the common optical microscope is used to study objects too small to see with the naked eye. The difference between a common optical microscope, and a compound microscope is the number of objective lenses. A compound microscope will contain several lenses. This reduces distortion, and gives one multiple lenses with which to adjust magnification.

What are the several types of microscope?
1.digital microscope 2.stereo microscope 3.compound microscope 4.electron microscope 5.laboratory microscope
Does a compound microscope have only one lense?
yes !! HINT: compound means several"
What type of microscope is used in hi-tech labs to achieve the best magnification?
Depending on the desired results, several types of scanning probe microscopes can be found in hi-tech labs to achieve the maximum magnification. These include atomic force microscope, scanning tunneling microscope, electrostatic force microscope, kelvin probe force microscope, magnetic resonance force microscope, and piezoresponse force microscope.
Who was the first person to invent the microscopes?
The term microscope technically applies to any magnifying arrangement of lenses, one or many. Single lens magnification has been known since about 1000 AD and no inventor is recorded by history. Around 1590, several individuals compete for recognition as the inventor of the compound microscope which is a microscope using two or more lenses. See the link below to the related question, "Who invented the microscope?" About 1670, Anton van Leeuwenhoek dramatically increased the magnifying power of the simple microscope.
What is different types of microscope?
There are several type of microscopes, mainly, the one that we use in lab is a simple light microscope or a compound microscope. Then we have the phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope (transmission electron microscope [TEM] and scanning electron microscope [SEM]), confocal microscope and even dissection microscope the one which we use during dissections.
What is the function of the nose of a microscope?
It holds the objective lens- the lens closest to the slide. A revolving nosepiece holds several lenses, and permits them to be changed easily- changing the degree of magnification

How is compound light microscopes different than an electron microscope?
A compound microscope uses several lenses. Pressumably it is designed to work with visible light. An electron microscope uses electrons instead of light; since electrons (typically at about a million volt) have a much shorter wavelength than light, they have a much better resolution.
What uses electrons to produce magnified images?
An electron microscope uses a beam of accelerated electrons to produce magnified images of extremely small objects. This type of microscope offers much higher resolution and magnification capabilities compared to traditional light microscopes.
