The oil immersion objective lens provides the highest magnification in a compound light microscope, typically ranging from 90x to 100x. This lens requires a drop of oil to be placed on the slide to reduce light refraction and increase image clarity and magnification.
The total magnification of a microscope is equal to the magnification of the eyepiece lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens. For example, if the eyepiece has a magnification of 10x and the objective lens has a magnification of 40x, the total magnification would be 10x * 40x = 400x.
The revolving nosepiece or turret rotates to change from the low power objective lens to the high power objective lens on a microscope. This component allows for easy switching between different objective lenses without the need to manually remove and insert them.
The main magnifying parts of a microscope are the objective lens and the ocular lens. The objective lens magnifies the specimen being viewed, while the ocular lens further magnifies the image produced by the objective lens. Together, they help to achieve high magnification for detailed observation of microscopic structures.
The objective that focuses closest to the slide when it is in focus is the high-power objective lens, typically 40x or 40x-50x magnification. This lens provides a high level of magnification and allows for detailed examination of the specimen by bringing it closer to the microscope slide.
Nucleus, plasma membrane, cilia, flagella
The magnification of a high power objective lens typically ranges from 40x to 100x.
The oil immersion objective lens provides the highest magnification in a compound light microscope, typically ranging from 90x to 100x. This lens requires a drop of oil to be placed on the slide to reduce light refraction and increase image clarity and magnification.

A high power objective lens is a microscope lens with a high magnification level, used for viewing specimens in fine detail. It allows for closer inspection of specific features or structures of the specimen.
The longest objective lens commonly used in microscopes is the 100x (oil immersion) lens. This lens provides the highest magnification, allowing for detailed visualization of cellular structures.
The revolving nosepiece or turret rotates to change from the low power objective lens to the high power objective lens on a microscope. This component allows for easy switching between different objective lenses without the need to manually remove and insert them.
When using a 100X objective lens, you typically want to use a high numerical aperture (NA) condenser lens to match the high NA of the objective lens. A condenser with a NA value equal to or greater than the NA of the objective lens (typically around 1.4) is recommended for optimal resolution and contrast in microscopy.
A dry objective lens is used without any immersion medium, while a wet objective lens requires a drop of immersion oil to improve resolution and clarity by reducing light refraction. Wet objectives are typically used for higher magnification and numerical aperture applications in microscopy.
The nosepiece of a microscope holds multiple objective lenses, each with different magnification levels that range from high to low power. Rotating the nosepiece allows you to switch between these objective lenses to adjust the magnification of your specimen.
So you do not crack the high power objective lens - this lens is very fragile and expensive.
