∙ 13y agoResolution refers to the ability of a microscope to distinguish between two closely spaced objects as separate entities. A resolution of 400 means that the microscope can distinguish objects that are 1/400th of the actual size apart. In this case, the microscope magnifies the object 400 times and can resolve details that are very close together.
No, the resolution of a microscope is not determined by its magnification power. Resolution refers to the ability to distinguish between two points that are close together. It is influenced by factors like the quality of the lenses and the properties of light used in the microscope.
Magnification is important as it enlarges the image of the small object, making details visible. Resolution is important as it determines how much detail can be seen in the image, affecting the clarity and sharpness of the object being viewed. Both magnification and resolution work together to provide a clear and detailed view of the small object under a microscope.
A microscope that can enlarge images up to 1500 times is called an electron microscope, which uses a beam of electrons to achieve such high magnification levels. These microscopes are used in scientific research to study very small objects in great detail.
A simple microscope has only one lens and can magnify an object up to 15 times the object's size. A compound microscope has two lenses and can magnify an object more than 2,000 times.
A microscope lens with a power of 20X will magnify an object 20 times its actual size.
No. The resolution states how close two points can be, while you can still distinguish them as distinct points. A greater enlargement - making something look 400 times larger - may or may not help to improve the resolution. (An exaggerated enlargement may make the image larger, but blurry.)
Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) generally have greater magnification than scanning electron microscopes (SEM). TEM can achieve magnifications up to 1,000,000x, while SEM typically reaches up to 100,000x.
No, the object's actual size does not change with magnification. Magnification simply enlarges the image of the object, but the object itself remains the same size. Increasing the magnification allows us to see more detail of the object, not change its physical size.

it can magnify an object up to 30 times it can magnify an object's appearance by 30 times
An electron microscope can typically magnify an object up to 1,000,000 times, allowing for ultra-high resolution imaging of tiny structures at the nanoscale level. Higher magnifications are also possible in some specialized electron microscopes.
