How is macroscopic magnification computed?

Answer 1

The eye piece provides x10 magnification, and times it by the low power objective. (Smallest tube)

So, if the low power objective was x10, and the eye piece being 10, then the magnification would be x100

Use this for other objectives too.

Answer 2

In a standard microscope (a light microscope) the eyepiece (what you look through) is 10x magnification. Then, there are four opticals (the things that rotate) the shortest one, the scanning power, is 4x

next is the low power, which is 10x

then high power, 40x

and finally oil immersion, 100x

You take which ever power you are using (which will either be 4, 10, 40, or 100) and multiply it by the magnification of the eyepiece (10x), giving you totals of 40x, 100x, 400x, or 1000x respectfully.

Answer 3

Macroscopic magnification is computed by dividing the image size by the object size. The magnification factor indicates how much larger the image appears compared to the actual size of the object. It is typically expressed as a ratio or a percentage.

Answer 4

Macroscopic magnification can be computed using different sets of magnification lenses on the best sorts of microscopes. They can be computed with lens calculations.
