In my high school Biology class we did a strawberry lab where we broke down cells and extracted DNA from them in a snot like bundle.
We placed this bundle under a microscope and by sheer luck we found a ribbon twisted into a double helix. We could clearly see the backbone of the structure and the twists.
There were twists about every length 1/5th of the length of the view field and the entire structure ran for about half of the length of the view field along the top left side of the microscope. The width was maybe 1/20th the length of the view field.
I was surprised that we could observe DNA clearly at such a low magnification. We tried putting the slide under our teacher's microscope to show it on the projector (the microscope had camera attached to it) but we were unable to find a strand of DNA, let alone the same particular strand.
Hope this helps.

If the total power of magnification is 400x and the eyepiece is 10x what is the objective lens power?
One can obtain a total magnification of 400x while using an objective lens of 40x. Such a lens should be used along an eyepiece of 10x.
What is the total magnification you are using to view the cells if you are using the 40x objective to view the slide with a 10x eyepiece?
To calculate the total magnification, you multiply the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. In this case, using a 40x objective with a 10x eyepiece results in a total magnification of 400x (40x × 10x = 400x). Thus, you are viewing the cells at 400 times their actual size.
When using a microscope with a 10x ocular and the 40x objective plane what is total magnification?
400x
How do you calculate the total magnification capacity of a microscope?
To calculate the total magnification of a microscope, you multiply the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. For example, if the objective lens has a magnification of 40x and the eyepiece has a magnification of 10x, the total magnification would be 40x * 10x = 400x.
What is the magnification in binocular microscope?
The magnification in a binocular microscope is the product of the magnification of the eyepieces and the objective lenses. For example, if the eyepieces magnify the image by 10x and the objective lenses magnify by 40x, the total magnification would be 10 x 40 = 400x.
What is the total magnification of a microscope with a 10x Eyepiece and a 40x Objective?
The total magnification of the microscope when using the 40x objective depends on the strength of the eye piece lens. Typically a 10x eye piece lens is used in college microscopes this would give 40x10 = 400x magnification.
3. If the diameter of the field of view of a compound microscope at 40X magnification is 6000 micrometers (um) what would be the field of view at 400X magnification?
To find the new field of view at 400X magnification, you would divide the original field of view by the magnification increase factor (which is 10 in this case since you are going from 40X to 400X). So, 6000 um / 10 = 600 um. Therefore, the field of view at 400X magnification would be 600 micrometers.
Magnification of a light microscope with an objective lens of 40x?
The total magnification of a light microscope with a 40x objective lens is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece lens. Assuming a standard eyepiece magnification of 10x, the total magnification would be 400x (40x objective lens * 10x eyepiece lens = 400x total magnification).
Is peroxisome visible under 400X magnification?
No, peroxisomes are generally not visible under standard light microscopy at 400X magnification. They are too small and require higher magnifications and specific staining techniques to be visualized.
What is the total magnification of a microscope when the eyepiece lens by the magnification of the the high objective lens?
multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the high objective lens. for example, if the eyepiece magnifies x10, and the high objective magnifies x40, then the total magnification would be 400x
If the total power of magnification is 400x and the eyepiece is 10x what is the objective lens power?
One can obtain a total magnification of 400x while using an objective lens of 40x. Such a lens should be used along an eyepiece of 10x.
When using a microscope with a 10x ocular and the 40x objective plane what is total magnification?
400x
Can you see the endoplastic reticulum at 400x magnification?
No, the endoplasmic reticulum is too small to be seen at 400x magnification. It is a cellular organelle that is only visible under higher magnifications, typically around 1000x or more using an electron microscope.
Can you see crystals with 400X magnification?
Yes, with a 400X magnification, you should be able to see crystals in fine detail including their structure, shape, and any impurities present. This level of magnification is commonly used in crystallography and mineralogy studies to analyze crystal properties.
How do you calculate the magnification of a microscope from the magnification of the eyepiece and objective?
To calculate the total magnification of a compound microscope, you simply multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective. For example, if the eyepiece magnifies 10x and the objective magnifies 40x, then the total magnification is 10x * 40x = 400x.
Medium power magnification of microscope?
Medium power magnification on a microscope typically ranges from around 100x to 400x. At this magnification level, you can observe more details of the specimen while still maintaining a decent field of view. It is commonly used for observing cellular structures and larger microorganisms in greater detail.
What has the smallest field of veiw 10x 40x 100x 400x in a coumpoud microscope?
400x gives the smallest field of view. The magnification of the instrument, and the field of view are inversely rational.
