Magnification of microcope hooke?

Robert Hooke's microscope had a magnification of around 50x, allowing him to observe details of biological specimens at a cellular level. This level of magnification was revolutionary for his time and contributed to his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of biology.


Define biological magnification and explain why humans are often more severely affected?

Biological magnification: the process by which pollutants become more concentrated in successive trophic levels of a food web (accumulation of pollutants in fatty tissues of a predator) Humans are often more severely affected than earlier trophic levels due to biological magnification. The ppm (parts per million) is the unit of measurement for concentration of chemicals like pollutants and augment to a degenerative degree in higher trophic levels. Humans are consumers and higher in the food web, thus subject to the malicious effects of biological magnification of toxins.


What are solutions to biological magnification pesticides?

Reducing monoculture, crop rotation, biological controls, the production of biodegradable pesticides and genetically engineering plants to produce their own pesticides are some solutions to biological magnification. Education about the impact of pesticides on the ecosystem and human health is also important.


What is the word equation for total magnification for any compound microscope?

The word equation for total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. Total Magnification = Magnification of Objective Lens x Magnification of Eyepiece.


How is the total magnification determined?

The total magnification in a microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. For example, if the objective lens has a magnification of 10x and the eyepiece has a magnification of 5x, the total magnification would be 10x * 5x = 50x.

What magnification level is required for viewing the specimen in detail?

The magnification level required for viewing the specimen in detail depends on the size and complexity of the specimen. Typically, a magnification level of 400x to 1000x is needed for detailed viewing of biological specimens.
