Magnification of MICROSCOPES Flashcards
(8 cards)
1
Q
What is magnification?
A
The degree of how zoomed in something is (the degree of how magnified the vision is).
2
Q
What are the two lenses that determine the magnification of the microscope?
A
- Ocular lense
- Objective lenses
3
Q
How do you determine the total magnification of the microscope?
A
(objective lens magnification) x (ocular lens magnification) = TOTAL magnification
4
Q
What magnification is the ocular lens?
A
10x
5
Q
What is the magnification of each objective lens?
A
LOW power: 4x
MEDIUM power: 10x
HIGH power: 40x
6
Q
If using a LOW power objective lens, what would be the TOTAL magnification?
A
(4) x (10) = 40x
7
Q
If using a MEDIUM power objective lens, what would be the TOTAL magnification?
A
(10) x (10) = 100x
8
Q
If using a HIGH power objective lens, what would be the TOTAL magnification?
A
(40) x (10) = 400x
