please help i need this question answered

I believe a bi-convex lens, that is, a lens with an outward curve on both surfaces, would provide the greatest magnification in a simple (single) lens system.

On a standard microscope, the highest objective power is 100x. Generally the ocular also has a 10x magnification, for a total magnification of 1000x.

What is the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope?

To determine the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope take the total magnification for the microscope and divide it by the total magnification of the objective lens. The answer is what the magnification is for the eyepiece.

How you find the magnification of a microscope?

Simply, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens times the magnification of the objective lens you have in place.

What is the total magnification of a compound microscope?

The ocular lens are 10x magnification. Objective lens are 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x magnification. So once an objective lens is selected, the total magnification would be given by its product with the 10x magnification of the ocular lens. For example, if objective lens selected is 40x, total magnification would be: (10x)(40x)=400x total.


How is magnification controlled in a microscope.?

by the objective lens


How many lenss are in a compound light microscope what is the function of the lenss?

The simplest optical microscope is the magnifying glass and is good to about ten times (10X) magnification. The compound microscope has two systems of lenses for greater magnification, 1) the ocular, or eyepiece lens that one looks into and 2) the objective lens, or the lens closest to the object.


How do you calculate the total magnification capacity of a microscope?

the power of the ocular lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens
