As magnification increases, the center of the slide would appear larger and more detailed. This is because magnification enlarges the image of the specimen on the slide, allowing you to see finer features with greater clarity at the center.
To calculate the total magnification, you multiply the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. In this case, using a 40x objective with a 10x eyepiece results in a total magnification of 400x (40x × 10x = 400x). Thus, you are viewing the cells at 400 times their actual size.
Microscopes, telescopes, slide projectors and magnifying glasses (if appropriately sized) will magnify times 10. The magnification is determined by the type of lens and in some instances, distance.
Adjusting a microscope's magnification settings can alter an object's field of view from a macro to micro areas. Higher magnification make the field of smaller and better defined, where lower settings increases the visible area.
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.
A slide is observed under a microscope by placing the slide on the stage of the microscope and adjusting the focus using the fine and coarse adjustment knobs to bring the specimen into clear view. By using the magnification settings on the microscope, the details of the specimen on the slide can be viewed at different levels of magnification.
You should start with the lowest magnification lens, typically the scanning lens (4x or 5x), to locate and center the specimen on the slide. This allows you to get a general overview of the slide before increasing the magnification with higher-power objectives.
The least magnification.
The smallest magnification lens on a compound light microscope is the scanning objective lens, typically with a magnification of 4x.
To switch between magnifications on a microscope and keep the same object in view, first center the object in your field of view at the lower magnification. Then, without moving the slide or stage, rotate the nosepiece to change to the desired higher magnification. The object should remain centered in your field of view at the new magnification. Adjust the focus as needed.
The lowest magnifiction, some microscopes are different but ours start at 40X
When you zoom in you are looking at a bigger magnification. You will only see part of the "e" as it gets bigger.
To accurately measure magnification in a microscope, you can use a calibration slide with a known scale or a stage micrometer. Place the calibration slide on the microscope stage and focus on the scale. Count the number of divisions that fit across the field of view and use this information to calculate the magnification.
High power magnification narrows the field of view, focusing on a smaller section of the slide. This can create the illusion that the overall area of the slide has decreased, when in fact it is just a smaller portion that is being observed in greater detail.
The total magnification is the object magnification for example 4x,10x etc. times eyepiece magnification usually 10x and you get the total magnification. The objective lens magnification is the lens right above the slide usually 4x,10x etc.
You start with the lowest magnification. Once you have found the specimen and focused it, you can move it to the next higher magnification. It should still be in focus, although you might need to use the fine adjustment.
True. Once focus is achieved with a lower magnification objective lens, a higher power objective lens can be rotated into position without fear of striking the slide because the working distance between the lens and the slide increases with higher magnification lenses.
To examine a prepared slide using a microscope, first place the slide on the stage and secure it with the stage clips. Start with the lowest magnification objective lens, adjust the focus using the coarse adjustment knob, then fine-tune the focus with the fine adjustment knob. Once the image is in focus, you can adjust the magnification by rotating the nosepiece to switch to a higher magnification lens for detailed observation.
