Hi there,

i am a first year microbiology student and couldn't give you the most in depth answer, but...most microscopes have four different objective magnification lenses; 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x.

High and dry is referring to your 40x objective lense, because it's the highest magnification you can look through a microscope before you should put oil on your slide. Putting oil over your slide at 40x or lower simply blurs your scope vision whilst placing a drop of oil at 100x increases the amount of light and resolution you see due to the affects of refraction. It makes your view clearer.

I hope that helps.

What is the instrument used in studying cells?

Microscope is the instrument used in studying cells, allowing scientists to view cells in detail and observe their structure and function. Different types of microscopes, such as light microscopes and electron microscopes, are used depending on the level of detail needed for the study.


Some proteins within a cell can be viewed with a. naked eye b. an electron microscope c.light microscope d. none of the choices are correct?

B. an electron microscope, Because an electron microscope is more detailed and lets you see smaller and more complex things than the light microscope. And proteins are too small to see by the naked eye.


What major advantage does a transmission electron microscope have over a compound light microscope?

The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.


What is the meaing of a base on a microsope?

A base on a microscope is the bottom part that provides stability and support to the entire microscope. It usually contains the illumination system and is designed to keep the microscope steady during use.


Why can a compound microscope achieve higher powers of magnifications than a simple microscope?

A compound microscope uses multiple lenses in its system to magnify the image multiple times, allowing for higher powers of magnification compared to a simple microscope that only uses one lens. The compound microscope's use of objective and eyepiece lenses working together in a series enlarges the image, making it appear larger and clearer.

What microscope mean?

Microscopic means too small to see with the unaided eye, so you need to use a microscope to see it.


What does microscope field mean in science?

In science, the term "microscope field" refers to the area or magnified region that is visible through a microscope lens at any given time. It represents the specific part of the sample or specimen that is being observed under the microscope. The size of the microscope field can vary depending on the magnification and the type of microscope being used.


What does scope mean in microscope?

In microscopy, "scope" is short for microscope, referring to the device used to magnify objects that are otherwise too small to see with the naked eye. It is the same as saying "microscope."


What does the revolving power of microscope mean?

The revolving power of a microscope refers to the ability to switch between different objective lenses to achieve different levels of magnification. By rotating the turret or nosepiece of the microscope, you can easily change the magnification power of the microscope to observe specimens at different levels of detail.

What does resolution of a microscope mean?

The resolution of a microscope refers to its ability to distinguish between two closely spaced objects. A higher resolution means that the microscope can produce clearer and more detailed images by separating small details that are close together. Resolution is an important factor in determining the quality of images produced by a microscope.
