Microscopes and magnification

Label the microscope diagram

Give the equation for magnification

magnification = size of image / actual size of object

Give a definition of magnification

How much you are zooming in. The degree to which the size of an image is larger than the object itself

Give the equation of total magnification

total magnification = mag of eye piece x mag of objective lens

Give the equation for actual size

actual size = measured size / magnification size

Give the definition of resolution

the degree to which it is possible to distinguish between two objects that very close together

Give a conclusion of resolution

The higher the resolution, the greater the detail you may see.
