Microscope Magnification
Magnification Refers to the Power of a Microscope. 4 levels of Magnification are: Low Power: 4 X Medium Power: 10 X High Power: 40 X Eyepiece Objective: 10 X
Total Magnification Calculated by taking the eyepiece objective TIMES the objective lens Example: Looking through high power 10 X 40 = 400
Power of Magnification Low Power-You are able to See a large field of view, but not as much detail. High Power-the field of view is smaller, but you are able to see more detail.
Terms to Microscope Know
Field of View Refers to the amount of a specimen we are able to see; decreases as the power of magnification increases.
Slide Rectangular glass plate used to view samples of water or other materials.
Cover Slip Small glass or plastic piece that is used to cover a water drop on a slide.
