Under low power in a microscope, you will see a larger area of the slide but with less detail. This is because the lenses are not magnifying the image as much as under higher magnification. Low power is useful for locating objects on the slide and getting an overall view of the specimen.

What can you see under a low power microscope?

Under a low power microscope, you can see larger structures such as plant cells, blood cells, small insects, and other objects that are not visible to the naked eye, but lack fine details that would be visible with higher magnification.


What is another name for the low power objective lens on a microscope?

The low power objective lens on a microscope is also known as the scanning lens.


What organelles can absorb iodine stain and be seen with the low power of a compound light microscope?

The organelles that can absorb iodine stain and be seen with the low power of a compound light microscope are the nucleus and the starch granules (amyloplasts). Iodine stains the nucleic acids in the nucleus and the stored starch in the amyloplasts, making them visible under the microscope.


What part of the microscope is used to focus initally under the scanning or low power?

For course focusing the primary stage is used.


What is low power objective in a microscope?

A low power objective in a microscope is a Small Lens with Low Magnifying Power. A microscope head with two eyepiece lenses, one for each eye. Generally this term is used in describing a high power (compound) microscope. With a low power microscope we say "stereo" head because, unlike the compound microscope, the stereo has a separate objective lens for each eyepiece lens, producing two independent paths of light, one for each eye. In the compound microscope with a binocular head, there are two eyepiece lenses but still only one objective lens and you will not get stereo vision. Hope this helps.

Why is it that the image under the low power objective become inverted?

The image becomes inverted under the low power objective due to the design of the microscope and the way light rays are refracted and magnified by the lenses. The inverted image is a result of the optics in the microscope system.

How dows the procedure for using the microscope differ under high power as opposed to low power?

When using a microscope under high power, you typically start by locating the specimen using the coarse adjustment knob on low power before switching to high power for a more detailed view. Under high power, you may need to use the fine adjustment knob more delicately to focus due to the increased magnification. Additionally, the field of view is smaller under high power compared to low power.

How do you view specimen under high power on a microscope?

To view a specimen under high power on a microscope, first ensure the specimen is properly mounted on a slide and in focus under low magnification. Then, increase the magnification to high power, typically 400x or higher, using the lens adjustment knob without contacting the slide. Finally, fine-tune the focus using the fine focus knob to get a clear view of the specimen at high magnification.


When seen under high power do the organisms appear to move more rapidly or more slowly than when seen under low power?

Organisms appear to move more rapidly under high power due to the increased magnification of the microscope, making their movements more noticeable compared to when seen under low power.


Why do you start on low power adjective on a microscope?

The reason we start on low power adjective on a microscope is because if we put it on high power the power may go down and we then have to charge it. from: Alexislily1 over and out
