The objective lens (right above the slide stage) is 4x. The eyepiece (what you look into) is 10x. 4 times 10 = 40. Whatever the objective lens power is, you have to multiply it by the eyepiece power (usually 10x) to get the overall magnification.

Microscope is an indespensable tool why?

A microscope (literally ~ 'see small') is a device to aid our natural eyesight. A low power microscope (<40 times) is very useful in inspection of samples, and in dissecting small structures. Such as parts of a flower. Stereo microscopes are good in this region. From here you go up to medium power 'scopes, up to a few hundred times. You'll now be looking at the grains of sandstone and similar small items. A binocular microscope will be useful, but you'll no longer have stereo presentation. Much more than a few thousand becomes difficult for a light microscope, for your subjects themselves approach the wavelength of light in size. Beyond this, electron microscopes rule, and they may not actually look at the specimen directly. They fire a beam of electrons at the specimen, and display the results on a video screen. But you can have much more fun here, for if the electrons are sufficiently energetic, they can cause secondary emission from the sample, and analysing these emissions can identify the elements in the sample. You'll now be looking at part of an individual grain of a sandstone. And with an EM microscope it is simple to copy the picture from the video screen.

What is the power of the microscope?

The power of a light microscope can be determined by multiplying the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the current lens. Ex. (10x) by (40x) results in in a 400x magnification.

What is 5 to the power of 40?

5 to the power of 40 is equal to 9,094,947,017,729,280,000. This can be calculated by multiplying 5 by itself 40 times. In mathematical notation, it is written as 5^40. This number is extremely large and is often expressed in scientific notation for easier understanding.


What is the effect of changing from lower power objectives to higher power objectives?

Low power objective magnifies the object by 10 times, whereas high power objective magnifies 40 times. When we change from low power to high power, the object appears larger, exactly 4 times larger than low power. Low power objective covers a larger area, whereas high power covers a smaller area.


What is 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2?

The expression 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 can be simplified by multiplying all the 2s together. This results in 2 raised to the power of 20, which is equal to 1,048,576.
