It depends on what the specimen is. If for example - the specimen is a person's finger-print, then low magnification is sufficient. However - if the specimen is a sample of blood, a higher magnification would be needed to show individual blood cells.

What is the total magnification of a microscope when the eyepiece lens by the magnification of the the high objective lens?

multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the high objective lens. for example, if the eyepiece magnifies x10, and the high objective magnifies x40, then the total magnification would be 400x


Would you use the electron microscope or the compound microscope to look at cork?

---- You would use the light microscope. The electron microscope would be unnecessary in this situation, due to its high magnification levels.


Which microscope has the highest potential magnification?

The transmission electron microscope (TEM) has the highest potential magnification of any microscope, typically up to 1,000,000x. This high magnification allows visualization of structures at the atomic level.


On the microscope which of the lens's has the most magnification?

high lens


Which microscope magnification would you use to see small objects?

You would typically use a high magnification objective lens, such as 40x or 100x, to see small objects with a microscope. This allows you to view the details of the object at a much larger scale than with lower magnification lenses.


What structure on a microscope allows the greatest magnification?

The objective lens is the part of a microscope that allows for the greatest magnification. It is located at the bottom of the microscope and is responsible for gathering light and magnifying the image of the specimen. By using different objective lenses with varying magnification powers, the total magnification of the microscope can be increased.


How high does the magnification on a microscope need to be to see protists?

A magnification of at least 400x is typically needed to see protists clearly under a microscope. This level of magnification allows you to observe the details of their structure and movement.


What is the total magnification of the microscope when it is on high power?

Microscopes vary in power. You can determine total magnification by the eyepiece and the lens.


What is the Magnification capacity of 10x low power objective and 10x high power objective?

The magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. In this case, if you have a 10x low power objective and a 10x high power objective, the total magnification would be 100x (10x * 10x) for both objectives when used with the same eyepiece magnification.


How you calculate the magnification of the microscope?

you multyply the low powered objective and the high powered objective :)


What microscope would be used to study a specimen smaller than 0.2 micrometers?

An electron microscope, specifically a transmission electron microscope, would be used to study a specimen smaller than 0.2 micrometers. This type of microscope uses a beam of electrons to create high-resolution images of tiny structures at the nanometer scale.


What are the 3 lens sizes on a microscope?

That depends on the type of microscope you are using, so check the lab you work or go to school in. At my lab, our microscopes have 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x magnification lenses.
