You cannot see down to the nanometer scale with light microscopes, you have to use something like a scanning tunneling microscope or an electron emission microscope. And since those don't use light I'm not sure you can really define the magnification.

The size of an organism that is observed using the microscope determines the zoom magnification needed. Very small organisms may require using an electron microscope.

How are the numbers related to the length of the objective?

Because the length of the objectives depends on the total magnification. Example: Magnification: 50x (LPO) You can see that the lower the magnification,the length of objective is the smallest. Magnification: 500x (HPO) You can see that the higher the magnification, the length of objective is bigger than the other objectives. If the objective is lower, the number is lesser -Guinean026


When you move to a higher magnification do you see more or less of the specimen?

With higher magnification you can observe bigger.To see clearly resolution also should be high.


Why do you see less of the letter e on the slide when you increase the magnification?

When you zoom in you are looking at a bigger magnification. You will only see part of the "e" as it gets bigger.
