Study Notes
Microscope Components and Their Functions
- Total Magnification is the product of the magnifications of the ocular lens and the objective lens being used.
- Example: Ocular lens (10x) and objective lens (40x) result in a total magnification of 400x.
Microscope Image Quality
- Resolution (Resolving Power) is the ability of a microscope to distinguish two points as separate.
- Higher resolution results in a clearer image and better detail.
