Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.

The total magnification achieved when using a 100x oil immersion lens with a 10x binocular eyepiece is?

The total magnification achieved when using a 100x oil immersion lens with a 10x binocular eyepiece is 1000x (100x objective magnification x 10x eyepiece magnification).


How do you measure diameter of cell nucleus?

First you must obtain an adequate sample of the cells (and their nucleus) which you wish to measure. Once you have the slides you have to methods of measuring: 1.- using a microscope with a graded eyepiece. This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope. 2.- Capturing digital images of the cell nucleus at a known magrnification and then using a program to measure the diameter of the cell nucleus ( I am currently using the free program IMAGETOOLS to do exactly that!!) This also requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope.This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope....but in this case the computer program does it for you.


Pros and cons of using compound microscope?

it has light limited magnification


How is magnification controlled in microscopes?

Magnification in microscopes is controlled by adjusting the focal length of the lenses. By changing the distance between the lenses or using lenses with different focal lengths, the magnification level can be adjusted. Additionally, some microscopes have different objective lenses with varying magnification powers that can be switched out to change the overall magnification.


Does the magnification in a microscope based upon the length measurement coincide with the magnification based on the width?

The magnification in a microscope is the same for both length and width measurements when using the same objective lens. The magnification factor is determined by the combination of the objective and ocular lenses in the microscope, resulting in equal magnification for both dimensions.


What is the increase of an objects apparent size by using lenses or mirrors?

Using lenses or mirrors can increase an object's apparent size by magnifying it. This magnification is achieved by bending light rays to converge at a point, making the object appear larger when viewed through the lens or mirror. The amount of magnification depends on the focal length and curvature of the lens or mirror being used.


Why would increasing the magnification of the object not necessarily lead to a more satisfying result?

Increasing the magnification of the object does not necessarily lead to a more satisfying result because magnification that is increased beyond a certain point can result to lost resolution. Magnification can be done by using instruments such as a magnifying glass, a microscope, and a telescope.


What structure on a microscope allows the greatest magnification?

The objective lens is the part of a microscope that allows for the greatest magnification. It is located at the bottom of the microscope and is responsible for gathering light and magnifying the image of the specimen. By using different objective lenses with varying magnification powers, the total magnification of the microscope can be increased.


How can you work out magnification when using a microscope?

Well, its easy. Its Image lenght over Object lenght. In other words,you divide the lenght of your diagram with the lenght of the real object being drawen. If the answer is not up to one, then your diagram is smaller than the real one.


What are the proper techniques of using a microscope?

put the slide on the platform, start with lowest magnification, gradually adjust the fine adjust knob until image appears clearly. then, keep switching to higher magnification powers.


What is the highest possible magnification that can be obtained when using a microscope?

Objective - Ocular 40 x 10 = 4000x


How is macroscopic magnification computed?

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.
