Well, its easy. Its Image lenght over Object lenght. In other words,you divide the lenght of your diagram with the lenght of the real object being drawen. If the answer is not up to one, then your diagram is smaller than the real one.

What is the total magnification of a compound microscope?
The ocular lens are 10x magnification. Objective lens are 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x magnification. So once an objective lens is selected, the total magnification would be given by its product with the 10x magnification of the ocular lens. For example, if objective lens selected is 40x, total magnification would be: (10x)(40x)=400x total.
What kind of microscope has the greatest magnification used to study cell structure?
the electron microscope. has 250,000x magnification
What type of microscope achieves the highest magnification and greatest resolution?
Electron microscope.Transition microscope has a magnification of *500,000 and resolution of 0.5nm.
Why is it important to record magnification used when drawing cells seen using a microscope?
because cells were unable to be seen without the aid of an electron microscope
What is the magnification of an dissecting microscope?
40x
What is the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope?
To determine the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope take the total magnification for the microscope and divide it by the total magnification of the objective lens. The answer is what the magnification is for the eyepiece.
Pros and cons of using compound microscope?
it has light limited magnification
Is magnification the ability to make things larger than what they are?
magnification is the ability to make things larger they they actually are by taking the lens from a microscope or by just using a microscope and magnifying the object.
What is the total area you see when you look into a microscope?
That would depend on the magnification you are using.
What are the 3 lens sizes on a microscope?
That depends on the type of microscope you are using, so check the lab you work or go to school in. At my lab, our microscopes have 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x magnification lenses.
If a microscope lens has a magnification of 15 and another has a magnification of 40 what is the total magnification of the microscope?
it would be 15 times 40 which is 600 times magnification
How does one calculate total magnification on the microscope?
One can calculate the total magnification of a microscope by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the main scope. For a compound microscope one must multiply each eye piece magnification.
What two basic principle are involved in using microscope?
The two basic principles that are involved using the microscope are magnification and observation. They are both done by examining an object through the lens of the microscope.
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.
When using a microscope with a 10x ocular and the 40x objective plane what is total magnification?
400x
