The greatest difference in magnifying power is between _______. a. dissecting microscopes and compound light microscopes b. tran
smission electron microscopes and dissecting microscopes c. scanning electron microscopes and transmission electron microscopes d. compound light microscopes and scanning electron microscopes Please select the best answer from the choices provided
a. dissecting microscopes and compound light microscopes.
Explanation:
Dissecting microscopes and composite light microscopes have the largest magnification difference among all existing microscope models. The compound light microscope is capable of magnifying the observed object up to 2,000 times, while the dissecting microscope has much lower magnification power, but has two objective lenses to capture light and create a three-dimensional effect for the viewer.
Correct Answer: A). Dissecting microscopes and compound light microscopes
After magnification the object appears larger in size that is measured by the magnifying power. It can be found out by dividing the focal length of the scanning object to the focal length of the eye piece. From the above given option the greatest difference that is found in the magnifying power is between the dissecting microscope and compound light microscope.
