On a typical light microscope, the low power objective lens will be shorter than the high power objective lens.

When changing objectives from low power to high power what is it necessary to do?

If you ask some elder staff of your class (if you are a student) they'll probably suggest you to move the body of the microscope a little higher. But according to my experience you can just turn it from low power to higher power with ease until you hear a click sound (so that the objective is locked).


Can you see more cell things with a low powered microscope or a high powered microscope?

The size of the cell remains the same no matter what power objective is used. However, the magnification changes between these two objective lenses, with the low power objective magnifying it less than the high power objective.


What is the meaning of revolving nose piece?

A revolving nosepiece, also known as a turret, is a part of a microscope that holds multiple objective lenses. It allows the user to easily switch between different objective lenses for varying magnifications without having to manually swap out lenses. This feature enhances the versatility and convenience of microscopy.


How does the working distance change when you go from low power to high power magnification?

The working distance decreases when going from low power to high power magnification. This is because higher magnification lenses have shorter focal lengths, requiring the object to be placed closer to the lens to come into focus.


The resolving power of a telescope is a measure of its?

The resolving power of a telescope is the ability to produce an image in which objects that are close together can be seen separately. Resolving power is sometimes expressed in terms of the inverse of the minimum angle there must be between two points in order to see them separated. This minimum angle is proportional to (lambda/d) where d=diameter of objective ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Not intended to improve, just a comment: Think of resolution and clarity as the telescopes Dots per Inch (DPI). Low DPI , Poor resolution = blurry TV picture 'Best' DPI= High Definition. Personally on my LX2080 I get better resolution at lower powers of magnification than very high.

Why is coarse adjustment knob not commonly used when focusing under high power objective?

The coarse adjustment knob moves the objective a lot while the fine adjustment knob moves it just a little, so using the coarse knob under high power can cause the objective to hit the slide and potentially damage the slide or the objective. The fine adjustment knob provides more precise control for focusing under high power, allowing for better clarity and accuracy.

Why must initial focusing of an object be under the low power objective and not under the high power objective?

Low power objective is like our eye if we want to see we can just see normally but if we want to see something very small but want to see properly at that particular part then we always go for some lens of something powerful. That's the same thing when we want to know something deeply we go for high power microscope to read a more detailed study of a particular part of object under the microscope.


What is the lens that is used to find the specimen on a microscope?

You use the low power lens to find the specimen with a microscope. Once you have found the specimen on low power, you can switch to high power for greater magnification. Just be sure to use only the fine adjustment knobs for focusing on high power so the high power objective won't hit the slide.

How much is the magnification power of the specimen under microscopic observasion with objective lens of 46x and eyepiece lens of 5x?

The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece lens. In this case, the total magnification would be 46x (objective) x 5x (eyepiece) = 230x magnification of the specimen.


If your getting 225x magnification with a 45x high-dry objective what would be the power of the eyepiece?

The magnification of a microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. In this case, if you have a 45x objective lens and a total magnification of 225x, the eyepiece magnification would be 225x divided by 45x, which equals 5x. Therefore, the power of the eyepiece would be 5x.


What to look for in a rifle scope?

It's all about the optics. When you are looking for a scope you need to look at what you are using it for. The magnification and objective lens size will be the main things to look at. For example you would not want a standard 4 X scope if you plan on hunting varmints or shooting 700 yards at a target. You would want to go with a higher power and a larger objective lens. There are many things to understand when looking for a scope and this is just one thing.


What is the relationship between total magnification and the field of view?

as the magnification increases, your field of view decreases. so when your magnification decreases, your field of view increases. such as, for example, a brick wall. when your 2 blocks away from one, all you see is the brownish wall. that is the low power objective. then when you get right up to the wall, you see all the tiny details. that is the high power objective. just think about it like that. =D. i hope it helped


Why is it important to only use the fine adjustment knob when using the highest power objective lens?

When using high power, the lens is very close to the sample - and so you risk damaging the slide and/or lens if they touch - therefore you only want to move the platform a little bit at a time. It is very similar with an oil immersion - you don't want to damage the lens by allowing the sample to touch it.


Why should you always use the low powered objective lens to locate objects mounted on the slide first even if you want to observe them with the high power objective lens?

If you don't a couple of things can happen, you can break or crush the slide and you just will not be able to find it. It would be like trying to find a bird in a tree when flying above the forest. You have to locate that tree first.
