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
What is the function of a nose piece in 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
What are the techniques used to study cell structure and function?
Cells are observed under the microscope, using several different techniques. Three of these techniques are cell culture, immunostaining and computational genomics.
What is PGAL?
PGAL (aka phosphoglyceraldehyde) is a chemical compound that occurs as an intermediate in several central metabolic pathways of all organisms.
What describes the compound phytic acid?
Nonnutrient component of plant seeds describes the compound phytic acid. Dietary phytic acid is found in the husks of grains, it is synonymous with the term phytate, and it inhibits absorption of several minerals.
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 developed one of the first compound microscope by placing several lenses in one tube?
Janssen
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
Which part of an optical microscope contains the magnifying lens?
The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains two lens systems, the objective lens composed of one or several lenses that magnify the image of the object being examined, and the ocular lens at the eyepiece end. The magnification of the microscope depends on the focal lengths of the two lens systems.

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
