On a microscope with the usual 3-lens turret it is usual to use the objective lens with the lowest magnification to first examine your specimen. This gives a wider overall view of the subject, and will allow you to choose the particular detail that best suits your study. You may then move on to a higher magnification, if necessary, to study finer detail. If you started with the highest magnification, your fine focus will be uncertain, and you risk the front of the objective lens coming into contact with the sample slide. This could damage your specimen, and may damage the front of the lens.
An electron microscope is a non-optical microscope that can magnify up to 250,000 times or more. By using a beam of accelerated electrons instead of light, electron microscopes provide extremely high resolution images of samples at the atomic and molecular level.
To increase the magnification of a refracting telescope without decreasing its light-gathering power, you can use a longer focal length eyepiece. This allows for higher magnification while maintaining the same aperture size, which ensures that the telescope continues to gather light effectively. Additionally, you could also employ a focal extender or a Barlow lens, which increases magnification without affecting the aperture's ability to collect light.
AnswerWell, the ocular lens is what you look into to see the specimen and the the objective lens is the closest frame to the specimen so they would be connected to the body tube.
The first compound microscope was made circa 1590 in The Netherlands. Hans Lippershey, Sacharias Jansen, and Hans Jenssen, all eyeglass makers, have each been given credit for the invention, using two separated lenses to greatly increase magnification. About 1670, Anton van Leeuwenhoek dramatically increased the magnifying power of the simple microscope by creating small spheres of high-quality glass, from which powerful lenses could be made.
The two parts of a microscope that magnify an object are the objective lens and the eyepiece. The objective lens is closest to the object being viewed and provides the initial magnification. The eyepiece is where the viewer looks through to see the magnified image.
If the eyepiece magnifies 15 times, then when used with a 10x objective lens, the total magnification would be 150x (15x eyepiece magnification x 10x objective magnification). Additional magnifications could be achieved by using different objective lenses, such as 5x for a total magnification of 75x or 40x for a total magnification of 600x.
Actual magnification of light microscopes could reach up 1000x magnification depending on the type of light microscope. Light microscopes could be divided into brightfield microscope and phase-contrast microscope for viewing stained specimen and unstained specimen respectively. Magnification of electron microscope on the other hand could go up to 1000000x. The actual magnification as well depends on types of electron microscope which includes transmission-electron microscope and scanning-electron microscope where both of them are used in viewing internal cell structures and cell surface structures respectively.
Impossible to answer ! 200x magnification could be created by an eyepiece with 4x and an objective lens of 50x magnification - but that's just ONE example !

No, the resolution of a microscope is not determined by its magnification power. Resolution refers to the ability to distinguish between two points that are close together. It is influenced by factors like the quality of the lenses and the properties of light used in the microscope.
The first microscope could magnify Less Than 20X
The microscope made by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek that could achieve a magnification of 300X is known as a single-lens, or simple, microscope. It consisted of a single high-quality lens that van Leeuwenhoek handcrafted to achieve those magnification levels, allowing him to make pioneering observations of microorganisms.
Zacharias Janssen and his father, Hans Janssen, are credited with inventing the first compound microscope in the late 16th century. This early microscope was a simple instrument with two lenses that could magnify objects. It consisted of a tube with lenses at each end and could magnify objects up to nine times their actual size.
Viruses could not be seen because the resolution and magnification was not good enough until 1938 when Ernst Ruska developed the electron microscope.
The specimen appeared as a collection of individual cells or particles, which were visible at a very high magnification. The color, shape, and arrangement of the specimen's components could be observed in detail under the microscope.
