Microscope is a fundamental tool used to study the size and shape of the microorganisms. It magnifies the cell size and other smaller objects. In order to visualize microorganisms, the microscopes are the right choice to view their size and shape of the cells. A typical microscope consists of an eyepiece, objective lens, and light illuminator to visualize the cells or small objects with good magnification and resolution abilities.
Explanation of Solution
Magnification: It is a ratio between the image distances to the object distance. It describes the increase in apparent size of objects compared with its actual size. The below given formula is used to identify the magnification of the image.
Resolution: It is the ability of microscopes to distinguish two objects as separate and distinct.
Both magnification and resolution are independent with each other and it could be increased without each other.

- What is the final magnification that you would obtain if you were viewing an object through a microscope with a 40X objective lens and a 25.5X ocular lens?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about the relationship between depth of field and magnification? There is no relationship. When magnification increases, depth of field decreases. When magnification increases, depth of field increases. Stereomicroscopes offer a lesser depth of field than compound microscopes. The depth of field of a microscope determines how much magnification it can achieve.arrow_forwardWhat did you notice about the Scalp Bald Human photomicrographs shown at (a) 40x vs (b) 100x TM? Why do you think your instructor is asking you to look at it at two different total magnifications?arrow_forward
