Explanation:

Objective lenses are responsible for the primary image formation in microscopes, they are the closest part to the object, it defines the image's quality and they determine the magnification and resolution. In an optical microscope you can usually find 3 or 4 objectives (4x, 10x, 40x and 100x) but other configurations and magnifications are possible, in the image I added you can see that.

<em>To determine which objective you will use you need to consider your specimen's size and what are the smallest features in it, NA (numerical aperture) must be considered as well, this is the ability to gather light and it determines depth of focus (how much you can focus without change in the image's sharpness), brightness and resolution (smallest distance between two objects). You'll also need to identify your observation method (phase contrast, darkfield, fluorescence, etc) and in what medium is your sample.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What is the relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage

4vir4ik [10]

The relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage is "as the ionic bond strength increases, cleavage will be more difficult".
There are ionic bonds between the minerals that held them together. Ionic bonds are the consequence of electrostatic fascination and electron exchange amongst positive and negative particles (cations and anions). Ionic bonding infers the development of requested crystalline solids and the cleavage of those solids will rely upon the quality of this bonding.

Folds exhibit which type of deformation? folds exhibit which type of deformation? elastic ductile tensional brittle

Mice21 [21]

Folds exhibit DUCTILE deformation. Folds are bent like pattern formed on the upper crust of the rocks. In simple words, folds are bend in rock strata. These are ductile deformation in the rock strata. These are results of compressional stresses on the rocks. Folds are of two types anticlines and synclines.
