THE
MICROSCOPE
MICRO = SMALL
SCOPE = TO VIEW
MICROSCOPE:
“an optical instrument consisting of
a lens or combination of lenses,
which magnify very small objects
so that their structure or texture
may be examined.”
• Microscopes are made up of
various parts that work
together to give a magnified
view of an object.
• Simple microscope – single
convex lens (“magnifying
glass”). Magnifies the object.
• Compound microscope –
objective lens and eyepiece
lens. Gives greater
magnification.
(Magnifications of lenses are
multiplied.)

Magnification
• The compound light microscope can be
used to view specimens that have
dimensions smaller than 0.1 mm.
• You can calculate the total magnification
of a specimen by multiplying the
magnification of the eyepiece lens by the
objective lens.
• For example:
– 10x X 4x = 40x total magnification
– (eyepiece) X (objective) = total magnification
Magnification continued
• The greater the total magnification, the
smaller the field of view (FOV). The lower
the total magnification, the larger the FOV.
• Most microscopes have a 10x eyepiece
and three objective lenses of different
magnifications.
– 4x objective for scanning the slide
– 10x objective – low power
– 40x objective – high power (only use fine
adjustment knob with this lens)
Answer questions 1-3 on
Microscopic Proportions entry
1 Calculate the total magnification:
a. 15x X 15x = 225x
b. 10x X 10x = 100x
c. 20x X 40x = 800x
2. With which combination of lenses would you be able to see the
largest area of a specimen? 10x eyepiece & 4x scanning. The
smallest? 10x eyepiece & 40x high power.
3. Which set of lenses would you use to locate a speciment on a
slide? Scanning objective (4x). Which set would you use to
examine the details of the specimen? High power objective (40x).
