When using a microscope, you are magnifying the area under the lens by however many times the magnification is on your lens. On low power the area expanded by the lens is smaller than on high magnification. When on low power more is visible and there is less area to search for your given object under the microscope. I recommend finding the object on low magnification, and then switching to high once you have found it.
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.
The lower objective on a microscope helps to provide initial magnification of the specimen. It typically has a lower magnification power compared to the higher objectives. This objective is usually used for scanning the specimen and locating areas of interest before moving to higher magnifications.
The low power objective lens helps to first fine the specimen or object being viewed, and to focus the microscope. Once the lens power becomes higher it is much harder to focus the microscope and find the desired object of viewing.
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.
Yes, it is recommended to start locating an object at low power before increasing magnification to prevent missing the object or damaging the specimen. This allows for a broader view and better understanding of the sample before zooming in for more detailed observation.
It's harder to find

b/c the high power only allows you to see a small portion of thee slide. where as the low power pretty much allows you to see the whole slide all at once.
A microscope lens with a power of 40X will magnify an object 40 times its actual size.
A microscope lens with a power of 20X will magnify an object 20 times its actual size.
No, resolution is a microscope's ability to distinguish between two separate points or objects that are close together. Magnification is the microscope's power to increase an object's apparent size.
10 times.
The term that refers to the power of a microscope is "magnification." Magnification indicates the degree to which the image of an object is enlarged when viewed through a microscope, providing details that may not be visible to the naked eye.
With a high power objective you see less sky and might not know where you are looking. With a low power objective you see more and it is possible to orient yourself among the objects in view.
