Labelling the microscope
Magnification Each lens (eyepiece lens and objective lenses) on the microscope has different strength of magnification Total magnification = eyepiece lens x objective lens
An example: The eyepiece lens has a magnification of x10 and the objective lens a magnification of x40 Total magnification= eyepiece lens x objective lens = 10 x 40 The total magnification is…

Calculate The eyepiece lens = x10 The objective lens = x35 The total magnification =
Calculate The eyepiece lens = x20 The objective lens = x30 The total magnification =
Calculate The eyepiece lens = x15 The objective lens = x40 The total magnification =
Calculate The eyepiece lens = x10 The objective lens = x65 The total magnification =
Calculate The eyepiece lens = x15 The objective lens = x200 The total magnification =
Stains.. In order to see cells clearly under the microscope we must STAIN the sample. These STAINS allow us to view the internal structures (ORGANELLES) of cells Crystal violet, methylene blue and iodine are examples of stains
Cells stained with methylene blue
Cells stained with crystal violet
