What is the light microscope's range of magnification?
The Dissecting Light Microscope range of magnification is 20x to 80x. The Compound Light Microscope ranges from 40x to 1000x -40x Scanning -100x Low Power -400x High Power -1000x Oil Immersion
How is total magnification for an objective determined for your microscope?
The standard microscope is that the eyepiece is 10x magnification, and three types of powered magnification helps it magnify even more. Low power is 4x, Medium power is 10x, and High power is 40x. Eyepiece and Low power is 40x, Eyepiece and Medium power is 100x, and Eyepiece and High power is 400x magnification in revolance to the naked eye.
What do low and high power objectives do?
the difference between the low power and high power objectives on a microscope are that the low power objective has a lesser magnification than the high power objective
How do you determine the total magnification on a light microscope?
Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece (usually 10x) and the magnification of the objective you are using, Example: eyepiece = 10 x objective lense = 40x 10 x 40 = 400 magnification of 400x.
At what total magnification should you begin to look at a sample?
Depending on what microscopy you are doing.. Bacterial microscopy starts with 40x and Blood smear microscopy at 10x.
