Yes, the magnification based on the length would coincide with the magnification based on the width. However, the object on the slide is only measured by its diameter.

Why are some of the cell organelles not clear in the structure of the cells observed under microscope?

It is not possible to see organelles with a compound light microscope because some organelles are to small to be seen with the low magnification of the light microscope. If they can not be seen through the compound microscope they are normally looked at through the electron microscopes (transmission electron microscope {TEM} or scanning electron microscope {SEM}).


Microscope have the same length?

yes


When locating specimen which magnification is used?

When locating a specimen,the magnification use is low objective lens of 10*.


If a cell measures 10 micrometers at 100x what is its length at 200x?

Length doesn't change when magnification does. It's similar to looking through a magnifying glass; though it appears larger, the actual length of the object doesn't change


What the bottom part of the microscope?

1. Ocular Lens (Eyepiece) - where you look through to see the image of your specimen. Magnifies the specimen 10X actual size. 2. Body tube - the long tube that supports the eyepiece and connects it to the objectives. 3. Nosepiece - the rotating part of the microscope at the bottom of the body tube; it holds the objectives. 4. Objective Lenses - (low, medium, high). Depending on the microscope, you may have 2, 3 or more objectives attached to the nosepiece; they vary in length (the shortest is the lowest power or magnification; the longest is the highest power or magnification). 5. Arm - part of the microscope that you carry the microscope with; connects the head and base of the microscope. 6. Coarse Adjustment Knob - large, round knob on the side of the microscope used for "rough" focusing of the specimen; it may move either the stage or the upper part of the microscope. Location may vary depending on microscope - it may be on the bottom of the arm or on the top. 7. Fine Adjustment Knob - small, round knob on the side of the microscope used to fine-tune the focus of your specimen after using the coarse adjustment knob. As with the Coarse Adjustment Knob, location may vary depending on the microscope. 8. Stage - large, flat area under the objectives; it has a hole in it (see aperture) that allows light through; the specimen/slide is placed on the stage for viewing. 9. Stage Clips - clips on top of the stage which hold the slide in place. 10. Aperture - the hole in the stage that concentrates light through the specimen for better viewing. 11. Diaphragm - controls the amount of light going through the aperture; may be adjusted. 12. Light or Mirror - source of light usually found near the base of the microscope; used to direct light upward through the microscope. The light source makes the specimen easier to see.

How is magnifying power of telescope and a microscope are a affected by increasing the focal length of their objectives?

The magnification of a telescope M is the the focal length of the objective Fo over the focal length of the eyepiece Fe so increasing the focal length of the objective increases the magnification. The magnification of a microscope M is approximately tube length L/Fo x 25/Fe. Therefore increasing the focal length of the objective reduces the magnification.


Why is the focal length of the objective lens in a microscope short?

To improve magnification. Also so that we can get a real and inverted image


What would be the effect on magnification to increase the focal length of microscope and telescope?

The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.


What is the relationship between the length of each objective lens and the power of magnification on a microscope?

How are the numbers related to the length of the objective?

Because the length of the objectives depends on the total magnification. Example: Magnification: 50x (LPO) You can see that the lower the magnification,the length of objective is the smallest. Magnification: 500x (HPO) You can see that the higher the magnification, the length of objective is bigger than the other objectives. If the objective is lower, the number is lesser -Guinean026


What is the smallest measurement for length?

The smallest unit of length is a Planck Length. This is the equivalent of a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter. This is too small for the human eye to see without assistance like a microscope.


What is the strongest magnification power?

depends which microscope ur using..... the strongest (not NASA's) is about 1,000x The definition of magnification power is given by the relationship: Magnification = 250 mm / f Thus, a 25-mm focal-length positive lens would be a 10x magnifier.


What will decreasing a telescope's eyepiece focal length?

The magnification of the telescope image is(focal length of the objective) divided by (focal length of the eyepiece).The focal length of the objective is fixed.Decreasing the focal length of the eyepiece increases the magnification of the image.(But it also makes the image dimmer.)

In measurement of length what are the largest cells when mature in the human body?

The largest cell in the human body is the ovum cell. The ovum cell is approximately one millimeter in length and is the only cell that can be seen without a microscope.


Are Golgi apparatus visble with 400x magnification?

In my high school biology class we did a strawberry lab where we broke down cells and extracted DNA from them in a snot like bundle. We placed this bundle under a microscope and by sheer luck we found a ribbon twisted into a double helix. We could clearly see the backbone of the structure and the twists. There were twists about every length 1/5th of the length of the view field and the entire structure ran for about half of the length of the view field along the top left side of the microscope. The width was maybe 1/20th the length of the view field. I was surprised that we could observe DNA clearly at such a low magnification. We tried putting the slide under our teacher's microscope to show it on the projector (the microscope had camera attached to it) but we were unable to find a strand of DNA, let alone the same particular strand. Hope this helps.
