In relation to a microscopewhat is magnification and resolution?
Magnification is the amount by which the image you see will be larger than the actual object, ie. if the image you see appears to be twice as large as the original object then it will be a 2x magnification. (magnification = size of image / size of object) Resolution is the smallest possible visible thing on the enlarged image. On a satellite picture the resolution may be 1m2 meaning that anything smaller is not visible on that picture. In the case of an electron microscope, for example, anything smaller than 1 electron will not be visible using the electron microscope.
How do you calculate magnification of a microscope?
Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece - by the magnification of the object lens. For example - if the eyepiece is labeled 10x, and the object lense is 12x... then the total magnification is 120x
Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with the high power object than with the low power object?
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.
How are you going to determine the magnification of an object viewed under a microscope?
To determine the total magnification of an object being viewed under a microscope, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens.

In Biology what does the term drawing magnification mean?
In biology you are often required to make a drawing of an organism or structure. The drawing should include the magnification or how many times larger (or smaller) the drawing is than the actual object. You can calculate the magnification by dividing the size of the object drawn on the page by the size of the actual object. Don't forget to make sure they are in the same units! for example: drawing 5 cm/ actual cell 5 um X 10,000 um/1 cm = 10,000 x magnification
What is the magnification of the objectives of the microscope?
The magnification of the objective lens is 10x. The magnification of the scanning lens is 4x. Therefore if you are viewing an object under scanning power, the total magnification is 40x.
What types of object do you study with stereomicroscope?
An object in three dimensions at low magnification.
Is total magnification an eyepiece magnification plus an objective magnification?
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.
View of an object that can only be studied with magnification?
microscopic
What is the total magnification if you view an object using a 40x objective lens and the eyepiece of the microscope is at 5x magnifying power?
The total magnification would be 200x, since the total magnification is the magnification of the objective lens X the magnification of the eyepiece.
Define magnification in lenss?
Magnification in lenses is the process of making an object appear bigger by looking through the lense.
