It depends on what magnification the ocular lens is (usually 10x), then you multiply that by the objective lens magnification (what you said to be 40x).

So the microscope would magnify your specimen by 400 times.

Why is it that the image under the low power objective become inverted?

The image becomes inverted under the low power objective due to the design of the microscope and the way light rays are refracted and magnified by the lenses. The inverted image is a result of the optics in the microscope system.


How is the image of an object seen through the high power objective different from the image seen through the low-power objective?

1. The Magnification increases 2. The Field of view decrees 3. The image of intensity decreases

What is the eyepiece of a microscope called?

The eyepiece of a microscope is called the ocular lens. It is the lens closest to the eye of the viewer and is responsible for magnifying the image produced by the objective lens. The ocular lens typically has a magnification power of 10x, and when combined with the magnification power of the objective lens, it determines the total magnification of the microscope.


How can you tell by just looking at them which is the low power objective or high power objective?

The low power objective typically has a lower magnification level (e.g., 4x or 10x) compared to the high power objective (e.g., 40x or 100x), and it usually has a wider field of view. The high power objective will provide a closer magnified view of the specimen but with a narrower field of view. You can often find the magnification level labeled on the side of the objectives.

How is magnification obtained in a microscope?

Magnification in a microscope is obtained through the combined action of the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens forms an enlarged, real image of the specimen, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens to produce the final magnified virtual image for observation. The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the magnification power of the objective lens by that of the eyepiece lens.

How much is letter e magnified under lpo?

The letter "e" is magnified 1000x under an LPO (Low Power Objective) microscope. This means that the image of the letter "e" appears 1000 times larger than its actual size when viewed through the LPO lens.

What happens to the image of a focused object under LPO when the objective lens is shifted to HPO?

When an objective lens in a light-path objective (LPO) microscope is shifted from the Low Power Objective (LPO) to the High Power Objective (HPO), the image becomes magnified and the field of view decreases. This results in higher magnification but a smaller area of the specimen being visible at once.


What power makes the image larger on an microscope?

The objective lens of a microscope has the power to magnify the image. By changing the objective lens to one with a higher magnification, the image will appear larger when viewed through the eyepiece.
