Q
Both lenses in a light microscope do some magnifying.How much a lens magnifies is written on its side.To work out the total magnification of both lenses working together we use this formula:
A
Total magnification = magnifications of eyepiece lens × magnification of objective lens.
2
Q
A magnification of, for example, × 600 means that it is 600 times bigger in the photo than in real life.
A
To get the actual size of the image you must divide the image size by the magnification. For example: 30 mm(the real length) divided by 600(the magnification)= 0.05 mm.
