Depends on your microscope. We've got one that's a x2.
Example: 4 = Low Power 10 = Med. Power 40 = High Power 100 = Eyepiece Low Power x Eyepiece = 40x Med. Power x Eyepiece = 100x High Power x Eyepiece = 400x
To determine the magnification of a plant cell viewed with a low eyepiece (typically 10x) and a high-power objective (A3 HPO, which is often around 40x or 100x), you multiply the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification. For example, with a 10x eyepiece and a 40x objective, the total magnification would be 400x. If using a 100x HPO, the total would be 1000x. Thus, the plant cell could be magnified anywhere from 400x to 1000x, depending on the specific high-power objective used.
Not all microscopes have the same magnification for the lower power lens.
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.
High power objective lenses are used in microscopy when fine details need to be observed. They are typically used after low power objectives to zoom in on specific areas of interest and provide higher magnification for detailed examination of cells, tissues, or other small objects. However, high power objectives have a smaller field of view and require careful focusing to avoid distortion.
The total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification power of the objective lens by the magnification power of the eyepiece. This determines how much larger an object will appear when viewed through the microscope.
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.
Example: 4 = Low Power 10 = Med. Power 40 = High Power 100 = Eyepiece Low Power x Eyepiece = 40x Med. Power x Eyepiece = 100x High Power x Eyepiece = 400x
The total power of magnification refers to how many times bigger than actual size you are viewing the specimen with a microscope. It is measure by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the objective lens you are using. For example, most eye pieces magnify by 10X. So, if you are viewing a specimen with the 4X objective lens, you are actually seeing the specimen 40 times larger than normal. (10X * 4X)
The medium-power objective lens on a microscope is typically used for observing specimens at a moderate level of magnification, usually around 10x to 20x magnification. It allows for a clearer and more detailed view of the specimen compared to the low-power objective, without sacrificing too much of the field of view.
An object will appear about 10 times larger than normal with a low-power objective. This is due to the magnification effect of the lens in the low-power objective, which enlarges the image of the object being observed.
To determine the magnification of a plant cell viewed with a low eyepiece (typically 10x) and a high-power objective (A3 HPO, which is often around 40x or 100x), you multiply the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification. For example, with a 10x eyepiece and a 40x objective, the total magnification would be 400x. If using a 100x HPO, the total would be 1000x. Thus, the plant cell could be magnified anywhere from 400x to 1000x, depending on the specific high-power objective used.
The magnification of the objective lens is 10x. The magnification of the scanning lens is 4x. Therefore if you are viewing an object under scanning power, the total magnification is 40x.
Not all microscopes have the same magnification for the lower power lens.
With a 4x objective lens compared to a 40x objective lens, you would see a larger area of the specimen, but the image would be less detailed and magnified with the 4x objective. The 40x objective would provide a much closer and higher magnification view of a smaller area of the specimen.
The formula for calculating the magnification of a microscope is given by: [ \text{Total Magnification} = \text{Eyepiece Magnification} \times \text{Objective Lens Magnification} ] For example, if the eyepiece magnification is 10x and the objective lens is 40x, the total magnification would be 400x. This formula helps determine how much larger the specimen appears compared to its actual size.
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.
