The field for the high power objective is very small, so if you do not have the organism or whatever you want to view in focus on a lower power, it may be very difficult to find on high power. Also, the lens for the higher power objectives are longer than the lower ones, which makes them closer physically to the slide that you are viewing than the lower objectives. Thus you must use the fine tuning knob to sharpen the image in high power, because you could break the slide if you use the course adjustment knob.

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.


If a microscope has an ocular with a 5X power and has objectives with powers of 10X and 50X what is the total magnification of a low power and high power please answer i am so confused?

To calculate total magnification, you multiply the ocular lens power by the objective lens power. For low power (10X objective), the total magnification is 5X (ocular) × 10X (objective) = 50X. For high power (50X objective), it is 5X (ocular) × 50X (objective) = 250X.


What change occurred in the intensity of the light in the field of view when you exchanged the low-power objective for the high-power objective?

It declined


Why Low power objective before High Power objective?

The low power objective is used first for two reasons: First, focusing the low power objective will insure that the other objectives will be at the proper height. Smashing a slide with an objective can damage the objective. Second, you can see a greater area with the low powered objective. This allows you to easily locate an object of interest, center it in frame and then zoom in on it.


What is found on the nosepiece of a microscope that ranges from high to low power?

The nosepiece of a microscope holds multiple objective lenses, each with different magnification levels that range from high to low power. Rotating the nosepiece allows you to switch between these objective lenses to adjust the magnification of your specimen.

Which part of a microscope should be used with the low power objective but not with the high power objective?

The coarse focus knob should be used with the low power objective but not with the high power objective. The point of using the coarse focus knob is to bring the specimen into general focus before fine-tuning with the high power objective, which requires more precise adjustments.
