Question

What new details are you able to see on the slide when the magnification is increased to 10x that you could not see at 4x

Answer 1

Answer: A more detailed information like the nucleus of cells on the slide is seen as the magnification Increases.

Explanation:

The microscope is an instrument used in a laboratory to view magnified image of an object ( cells on a slide). There are two types:

--> Simple microscope and

--> Compound microscope.

Simple microscope is used to view an object using JUST ONE convex lens, and the image formed is usually erect and magnified.

Compound microscope has a higher magnification compared to a simple microscope. It is produced by using TWO CONVERGING LENS of short focal length. Here, the two lenses used are classified according to their positions. The lens near the object is called the objective lens while the one nearer to the eye is called the eyepiece lens.

The objective lens of the compound lens used in the laboratory has ×4, ×10, ×40, ×100 magnifications. As the magnification of the objective lens is increased from ×4 to ×10 a more detailed information of the image is seen as the diameter of field of view decreases. For example the constituents of a cell like the nucleus can be viewed using a higher magnification.
