How is a simple microscope and a compound microscope different?
The difference lies in the number of lenses that each microscope has. A compound microscope has 2 or more lenses, like those found in most science classrooms. A simple microscope uses only 1 lens.
What instrument uses light and lenses is used to view cells?
An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
What is the total magnifications of a microscope with a 45x objective lens and a 15x ocular lens?

What kind of microscope uses a series of lenses to magnify?
An optical microscope
What is a compound microscope used for in lab equipment?
A compound microscope, like the common optical microscope is used to study objects too small to see with the naked eye. The difference between a common optical microscope, and a compound microscope is the number of objective lenses. A compound microscope will contain several lenses. This reduces distortion, and gives one multiple lenses with which to adjust magnification.
What does the nose piece on a microscope do?
The nose piece on a microscope holds and rotates multiple objective lenses. By rotating the nose piece, different objective lenses can be easily selected for viewing specimens at different magnifications.
What part of the microscope holds the objective lenses and rotates the objective lenses?
The revolving nosepiece holds the objective lenses and allows them to be rotated into place for viewing different magnifications.
What part of the microscope is objective lenses attached?
The objective lenses are attached to the nosepiece of the microscope. The nosepiece is a rotating turret that holds multiple objective lenses, allowing the user to switch between different magnifications.
Microscope objective lenses?
Microscope objective lenses are the lenses located close to the specimen in a compound light microscope. They magnify the image of the specimen and transmit it to the eyepiece for viewing. Objective lenses come in various magnifications, such as 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x, which allows for different levels of magnification and detail in the specimen being observed.
What is the name of the structure on the microscope that can be rotated to change the magnification?
The rotating structure on a microscope with various objective lenses on it is call the Turret.
What part of the light microscope is used to adjust the magnification strength?
The objective lenses are used to adjust the magnification strength on a light microscope. Different objective lenses have different magnification powers, allowing users to switch between magnifications by rotating the turret to select the desired lens.
Where are the objective lenses located?
Objective lenses are located beneath the microscope stage, facing the specimen. They are usually mounted on a revolving nosepiece so that different objective lenses with varying magnifications can be easily switched during observation.
What is the switch objectives on a microscope?
The switch objectives on a microscope refer to the rotating turret that holds different objective lenses. By rotating the turret, you can switch between different objective lenses to achieve various magnifications for observing the specimen. Each objective lens has a different magnification power, typically ranging from low (4x) to high (100x).
Do you add the magnifying power of the two lenses to work a microscope?
No, the magnifying power is not simply the sum of the magnifications of the two lenses. In a compound microscope, the total magnification is the product of the magnification of the objective lens and the eyepiece lens.
What is the use of a nose piece in a microscope?
The nosepiece in a microscope holds multiple objective lenses, allowing you to easily switch between different magnifications without having to physically change the lenses. This feature enables you to quickly adjust the level of magnification while observing specimens under the microscope.
What are the three magnifications of the object lens?
Low power (4x), medium power (10x), and high power (40x) are the three magnifications typically found on a compound microscope's objective lenses.
What does the rotating nose piece do on the microscope?
The rotating nosepiece on a microscope holds multiple objective lenses of different magnifications. By rotating the nosepiece, you can switch between these lenses to adjust the magnification of the specimen you are viewing without needing to manually switch lenses.
