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.
the magnification power of a microscope
1000000
The magnification of the microscope
hypotenid
one can make images of atoms using a scanning tunneling mcroscope.
the magnification power of a microscope
The power of a light microscope can be determined by multiplying the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the current lens. Ex. (10x) by (40x) results in in a 400x magnification.
1000000
1000X
Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification
The magnification of the microscope
400x
hypotenid
To determine the total magnification of a microscope you multiply the magnification power of the objectives lens (indicated as x10) by that of the eye piece.
it is 50 on my microscope.............................
The scanning electron microscope has a magnification range from 15x to 200,000x (reached in 25 steps) and a resolution of 5 nanometers.
