low power means we observed specimen at 40x and for more clear result we go to high resolution wich is 100x with the use of oil emmersion

Low power on a microscope refers to lower magnification levels, allowing you to see a larger area of the specimen with less detail. High power, on the other hand, refers to higher magnification levels that provide a more detailed view of a smaller area of the specimen.

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.
Does the switch from low power to high power change the position of the image under microscope?
No, switching from low power to high power magnifies the image but does not change its position. The position of the image remains the same as long as the slide or specimen is not moved.
What is the magnification of the medium power?
it is 50 on my microscope.............................
Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with high power objective than with the low power objective?
When using a microscope, you are magnifying the area under the lens by however many times the magnification is on your lens. On low power the area expanded by the lens is smaller than on high magnification. When on low power more is visible and there is less area to search for your given object under the microscope. I recommend finding the object on low magnification, and then switching to high once you have found it.
What happens to the diameter when you go from low to high power?
When you switch from low to high power on a microscope, the diameter of the field of view decreases because the high-power objective has a higher magnification, which zooms in on a smaller area. This allows for more detailed observation of the specimen at the expense of a smaller field of view.
How do you view specimen under high power on a microscope?
To view a specimen under high power on a microscope, first ensure the specimen is properly mounted on a slide and in focus under low magnification. Then, increase the magnification to high power, typically 400x or higher, using the lens adjustment knob without contacting the slide. Finally, fine-tune the focus using the fine focus knob to get a clear view of the specimen at high magnification.
What is the low power and the high power?
The higher the power microscope, the smaller objects it can see.
Why do you start on low power adjective on a microscope?
The reason we start on low power adjective on a microscope is because if we put it on high power the power may go down and we then have to charge it. from: Alexislily1 over and out
Does the switch from low power to high power change the position of the image under microscope?
No, switching from low power to high power magnifies the image but does not change its position. The position of the image remains the same as long as the slide or specimen is not moved.
What does it mean when a specimen is under low power magnification you can switch to high power magnification and have the specimen remain in reasonably good focus?
It means you have a good microscope.
What is found on the nosepiece of a microscope range from low to high power?
Objective Lens
Why are there 3 objective lenses in a microscope?
There's LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH power.
Does low power in a microscope show more area than high power?
No, higher magnification (high power) in a microscope allows you to see smaller details and a smaller area with more clarity compared to lower magnification (low power). Low power gives a wider field of view but less detail.
What are some of the changes in the field of view and the amount of available light when going from one low to high power using the compound microscope?
The changes in the field of view and the amount of light when going from one low to high power using the compound microscope is 40X for (LOW) And 100X for (High).
What is the lens that is used to find the specimen on a microscope?
You use the low power lens to find the specimen with a microscope. Once you have found the specimen on low power, you can switch to high power for greater magnification. Just be sure to use only the fine adjustment knobs for focusing on high power so the high power objective won't hit the slide.
How do you calculate the power magnification of microscope?
you multyply the low powered objective and the high powered objective :)
How dows the procedure for using the microscope differ under high power as opposed to low power?
When using a microscope under high power, you typically start by locating the specimen using the coarse adjustment knob on low power before switching to high power for a more detailed view. Under high power, you may need to use the fine adjustment knob more delicately to focus due to the increased magnification. Additionally, the field of view is smaller under high power compared to low power.
