Microscope Notes
1. _______________________-- To make an object look bigger
2. _______________________-- The number on the lenses of the
microscope that tells how much they
magnify the image of the object you are
looking at.
3. ________________________-- What you see when you look through
the eyepiece of a microscope
4. ________________________-- how much power the lenses have when
they work together
Total Magnification = Power of the Eyepiece X Power of the Objective Lens
Ex: Eyepiece = 10X
Objective Lens= 4X
Total Magnification=
Ex: Eyepiece = 10X
Objective Lens= 20X
Total Magnification=
Ex: Eyepiece= 10X
Total Magnification=
Objective Lens= 50X
